dVerse Poetics – On myths and Legends
Image: Rogier van der Weyden 1432, Oil Painting. ‘Saint George and the Dragon’
Trojans lurking
evil was everywhere
and truth was not
George white hat
fired up the mainframe
password ‘saint’
and put up a shield
using plain C
located target
and typed,
ipconfig and
proceeded
-bgrun
the dragon’s lair,
now to execute,
simple shortcuts
-shutdown
-kill

If only slaying the dragons were truly as easy as running the right code. Another original creatively thought out poem.

Ah yes, I must admit I really do admire Hackers, for me they represent hope against oppressive systems, some make a strike or two.
