September 2022.
Delirium.
Everyone is restless
In the state of etherium.
A plot twist in the lore
This calls for a score
That’s Shakespearean.
Wake up the historians.
This moment could be glorious.
Everything’s at stake
Will we emerge victorious?
A true test of faith
Will this break?
Will this be great?
And there’s some still wondering
what’s at stake?
Proof of work or proof stake?
Will this be the next mistake?
State of emergency
Feeling some urgency
No I’m not mining eth
But everyone around
Me seems
Freaked out
About what will emerge
After the merge?
Is this a purge?
Or a scourge
That will burn and crash this?
Or is the moment when a Phoenix will rise from the ashes?
What will emerge
After the merge?
This spoken word poem and digital artwork were created to capture the emotions in the Web3 community on the eve of the Ethereum merge on Sept 15, 2022.
