The Unmet Bell

Haikus

It rang only once
But nobody came to help
Expectation dies

Dashboard has no green
The lights are all turning red
Mascot of the fail

Ringing in the dark
Waiting for the answer now
Bell is left alone

Expectation fails
The unmet bell makes no sound
Silence in the hall

Ring the hollow brass
But the clapper isn’t there
Nothing has arrived

We wait for the tone
Server drops the final ping
Bell is fully dead

Missing what we need
Requirement was never met
Archive is aware

The request is wrong
We cannot fulfill the hope
Ring the quiet bell
