m.j. hibbett - programming is a poetry for our time lyrics

Loading...

take a complicated idea
and make the underlying point of it clear
compress it down to fit in memory
now tell me what’s the difference
between programming and poetry?

programming is a poetry for our…
programming is a poetry for our time

indenting every line
sorted into stanzas so that you can find
selected lines to quote or just a phrase to paste
into the epics that live underneath
the web and word and databases

programming is a poetry for our time
it’s a poetry for our time

i wonder would wordsworth have written in perl?
would keats have used notepad for html?
i reckon byron would see
the irony
of writing words to change the world that we
can’t live without but no-one ever sees

programming is a poetry for our…
programming is a poetry for our time

and even though it doesn’t rhyme
the syntax of a javascript will often be sublime
and though the poets now don’t have the glamorous style
of the poets of the past they didn’t either when alive

programming is a poetry for our time
it’s a poetry for our time
the river running beneath our lives
is a poetry for our time
