The Other Plague


Woke up this morning with this piece I wrote in 2021 in my mind

Heaven is a Peanut Farm


Heaven is a peanut farm
One for you and me
With friends and music, banquets and balls
And a good man named Jimmy
.
Heaven is a peanut farm
Surely it's the best
There's a porch with a sleeping dog
One where you can find rest
.
They say there is a man out there
Who made sure every heart he would fill
When God said "it's okay, you can stop your work now"
He said "no, I don't think I will"
.
When you come to this peanut farm
You will be filled with this delight
Friends and family, we gather 'round
To wish Mr. Carter goodnight

Here's what a successful free message looks like

I was testing some unconventional C methods and got bit off track with the error messages. Source code is in pastebin.
There's others small details in the sources, such as the addresses needed to correctly free the memory is invalidated right after the "regret" verse (allockStack = NULL), if the "Worry not" verse doesn't come up.

Moral of the story: free your allocated memory.

"The Sun Dies Tomorrow"


This is my first complete poem, ever.

The Forest
The forest was on fire. The trees were scared, and felt powerless. The two candidates offered to save them. The axe, whose handle was wood, suggested that if their neighbors were “relocated”, the rest of the forest would be safe from the fire. On the other hand the old growth tree in a clearing suggested that fire was a natural part of the forest, and they’d all be okay. In the end the axe was elected, but the forest all burned.

I miss my life


Yes I know it’s a shitty poem I haven’t written one since middle school. Just felt I needed a way to express myself and to post it somewhere and forget about it. No I’m not going to kill myself. This is about me getting a lifelong incurable chronic illness (ME) from a COVID infection. I’m bedridden, unable to talk, tubefed, unable to process noise, and just pretty much dead. Not looking for feedback.

Brackish
All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt
Stolen from the world their youth the delta mix
Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault
Though women try to shield them from the stiffened gault
They are dashed and churned into those bluish bricks
All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt
A purity they chase as if their ends they think they'll halt
Yet purity escapes and dies along the River Styx
Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault
As girls do age and stiffen up like malt
To be like brick and stone for society's new picks
All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt
Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault

Kindle
Smooth breath
I beset from your bated breath
Unless the stress that's given to me clear
Resides unfound and unclear
The key to my restitution lies in recognition
Opaque and sticky, defiance. Then remission
Upset and overreliant on bad positions
The lever's balance is set on a dud pivot
Problems unseen stay while shit thickens
While the root is left untapped
The branch kindles
