My Queen of Clubs..
a ghastly apparition in the shell.
Just as I lower all my firewalls
she boinks me on the head..
and in my kernel panic
mounts my root partition..
tight as hell.

Was she not taught
by senior sysadmin..
That to bear
the superuser privilege..
is to accept
its great responsibility.
One does not simply
just install
a rolling release distro..
and expect from it
utmost stability.

Sometimes,
a su must do.. as any su,
without a hesitation,
does.. to keep secure
his deepest truth.
Sometimes,
the only option
to address a zero-day
and critical vulnerability..
is to recursively
and forcefully
remove the root.
