21st Century Chivalry

Two five-legged unicorns
Their limbs steel blades
Slice-script patterns
On white tiled floors

A shiny breath condenser
Your liquid crystal valley
The prairie of winged horses
Ridden by the mighty ten

A widely windowed palace shines
Colored banners defiantly blaze
Royal backgrounds for warrior code
The algorithmic chivalry eternal

Between grand twin towers lies
This domain - providence sublime
On the altar of conceptual symmetry
The weak and their mothers lay slain

Kill the deceiving bugs with no reprove
This is why the towers stand guard
When the valley enjoys pregnant violence
The lips of the fallen form perfect ohs

Below the hollow earth
There are mighty volcanoes
Their logarithmic blast is rhythmic
The cadence of carnage keeps

Before majestic firewalls they fall
Where perennial vultures crowd up
Death codifies their silent stance
Mystic spellcasts the reaper bring

Mighty screams of pain and agony
The bleak towers reverberate glory
Ride, Fight, Kill, Kill, Kill
Once again the day shall be mine

And when the battle is over
I will slice the festive flasks
And streams of copious spirits
Shall caress numb body and mind

Who is to say Knights are no more
Here I am, proud, I type-kill
Across canvassed plains I ride
My mighty arrow swiftly travels
Enemies shiver, castles tremble
God save the Kernel

Fotios, August 2003
