I know the pieces HTTP+HTTPS fit

 
I know the pieces fit
'cause I watched them fall away
Personal sites and commerce things
Fundamental differing
Bare connections juxtaposed
Did set the web's early code in motion
Disintegrating now it goes
Failing TLS certification

The mark-up that fueled our fire then
Lost long ago to web apps, so...
We cannot seem to load plain text then
Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit
'cause I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame
It doesn't mean I don't desire
To point the finger, blame the IETF
Watch the web apps topple over
To bring the protocols back together
Rediscover HTTP+HTTPS

The poetry that comes from
The squaring off between
Javascript and security; is it worth it?
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
HTTPS-only and smoldering
Strangled by needs to ID things
I've done the math enough to know
The dangers of our mixed content
Doomed to MITM unless we grow
And strengthen our communication

CA TLS certs have
A tendency to
Atrophy any
Long term reliability

Between servers and users
Between servers and users

I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
I know the pieces fit
And I know the pieces fit
