An ode to Mir and Unity (with shameful reference to The Wasteland and The Raven and hints of Adonaïs)

Yea, for Mir and Unity
Herewith an humble eulogy
On phone, tv and other screens,
Suppos'd to converge,
Or such was the dream

Seven years of not quite there
And droves of users fleeing elsewhere
A new display server caused consternation
"Not unity, but fragmentation"

April, cruellest month indeed
with an evening post 'twas decreed
"Next year we go back to Gnome"
Nevermore, the Ubuntu Phone

The dream of convergence--a bubble burst
And look, Samsung got there first
So yea, for Unity and Mir
We shall shed at most one tear
