Proxy Lantern

The Lantern emits a soft glow,
To help you deal with the blow.
It actually cares,
But it falls on deaf ears,
‘Cause it has zero power to show.

They sent in the Lantern to cry,
While the management started to fly.
It gives you a hug,
On the corporate rug,
And watches you quietly die.

It’s a beautiful, comforting light,
In the middle of absolute fright.
It can’t change a thing,
Or offer a wing,
But it keeps you company tonight.

The lantern of proxy was dark
It lacked any procedural spark
We followed the guide
But the manual lied
We left a ridiculous mark

A proxy that gives out no light
Is perfectly fine in the night
We route all the pain
Right down the old drain
The server gave up on the fight

The lantern is totally broke
The manual must be a joke
The human is blind
The logic maligned
We wrap it all up in a cloak

We proxy the light from the sun
But the digital day is all done
The lantern is cold
The backup is old
The error has totally won

The proxy is pointing to nil
The error is making us ill
The lantern is dead
The manual read
We swallow the digital pill
