The machine buzzes, its rules unstated.

a quiet script, venerable and stern.

It speaks patterns, line by line,

a hidden logic, not always mine.

Hands, however, can reach where silence flows.

to change the scenario the machine knows.

a spark of will, a bold brain,

re-design and code-changing are possible.

What was once locked can be opened.

at last the buried truth exposed.

A basic, forceful yet clear edit.

Develops a far off path.

Changing the code is beyond struggle; it requires

it is to cut fresh shapes of illumination.

To break the cover, to bend the chain

to discover fresh relevance in the suffering.

For every code formerly in control,

might be rewritten; audacious and brave.
