with tears filled eyes and hands like in a prayer
I fall on my knees and beg for forgiveness
what have I done to deserve this fate?
what have I done to be cursed this way?

I've tried all I could, but to no avail
searched far and wide, but all I did was fail
no help could be found, I was left all alone
with a problem so hard, like the hardest stone

unreferenced calls to non-existing functions
linking full of holes, can't complete the junction
the output shows the process halt

desperate and sighing, checking all the settings
a thought came to me, almost like a blessing
to return the settings to default

I can't find the reason, I can't find the cure
libraries abundant, maybe it's misuse
my mind turns blank, I need to get some sleep
no more will I bother, no more will I weep

unreferenced calls to non-existing functions
linking full of holes, can't complete the junction
the output shows the process halt

missing some or all of those command line options
my lips are slightly moving, I had a smiling notion
at least it's not a segmentation fault
