The Second Running

they needed their king
to come again
to raise them in
more revenue
more quickly than
competition

a savior described
saving nothing yet,
save this drawing
an allusion to a solution
slowly formed
in recursion

a king in code
iconified in a crown
and created in a flow
that focused on nothing
but a sword of bits
and a deadline

read the writes
and tested in trial
against flawed chaotic forces
he executed in complex choices,
becoming strong enough
to carry the load

entered finally into memory
enter, and data delivery
this user-slave
master-of-code
at last presents
their king
