Numeric code
It sits unchanged
In Default mode

A problem, a conflict
Return to Default setting
Change and expansion
Default's not letting

By Default
This was made to be broke
By Default
Fire creates smoke

By Default
We walk on two feet
Fish swim in a pond
Flame creates heat

It is by Default
These things are so plain
Default creates
A long narrow lane

Change is so needed
Uniqueness is blessed
Take off and fly
Time to leave the nest

Leave the worn path
Step off that old road
Be the change we need
Leave Default mode

Absolutely a marvel. I completely agree with you. Cannot not express more love for it. Congrats on the publication even if it was eons ago. Deserves to graces Teen Ink's pages. Well done.
