word to the wise

[alierak]

what wizards were we,
who, when worlds went down,
would lift them high and laugh,
slowly sapped to see
such mortal mishaps drown
our super feats by half.
try again, reboot, reload,
sorry for the errors in our code.
yet on we wandered,
into darkness, version two,
now with new nothingness.
had we never pondered
light nor had a clue?
true, that something less
than perfect could endure,
but better were it pure.
