An Ode to Ethereum: DeFi Poetry

This is my: Ode to Ethereum, DeFi Poetry.

Background:

Ethereum is the standard bearer of decentralization, but it’s to expensive for the very people decentralization is suppose to help.
It has become a wealthy only club in some respects.

Ode to Ethereum

Help me Obi Wan Kanobee
You’re my only hope
Help me ETH 2.0
Your my only hope.

Laugh, laugh
Cry, cry.
I laugh
I cry
I know not why...

But actually I do...
I look at the crowds of newbies,
and say to them with a sigh
the gas fees are to big,
for you and you and I 👁

I know not why,
it is this way.
Perhaps ETH Two,
will save the day.

I hold my breath,
And I turn blue...
I swear at ETH.
I’m done with you.

When Proof of Stake?
When lower fees?
When Shards and Nodes?
When can I come home?

To MakerDao!
And Uniswap!
To Metamask
And Gigaflops!

I miss you so.
Ethereum your shards and nodes
I really want,
To believe in them.

But for now,
Your to rich for my blood,
My wallet bleeds,
Just like a flood.

Transaction fees,
They are sky high,
Transaction times,
They make me sigh.

So Metamask,
Take me away,
To Binance chain,
Where traders play.

Their transaction fees,
They are so small,
That they don’t hurt,
No one at all.

Their platform rugs,
Sometimes they pull,
These are bad bugs,
Their bitter pills,
But we just shrug.

I hold my breath,
And I turn blue...
I swear at ETH.
I’m done with you.

When Proof of Stake?
When lower fees?
When Shards and Nodes?
On my iPhone?

Oh when,
oh when,
can I come home?

Spot on! Almost good projects built on ETH are so darn expensive.

Yes it’s true, that’s why I am on Binance Smart Chain.

Hi @cryptoph0823

Thank you for your comment.
I hope for the best for Ethereum, but I see the reality.
We will see what ETH 2.0 will bring, or if the second layer solutions are successful.

A whole lots of Wens in the poem. But I don't blame you since the fees are unbearable for the average investor. Its the land of the rich trading with the fees.

Hi @jfang003

Thanks for the comment.
Yes we know all about WENs here don't we LOL :)
But thank goodness our WENS eventually come in months, not years. :)

Hi @joefinance

Thank you for your comment.
You are very kind.
I don't know if I can claim to be a poet, but I love word smithing, so I might learn more ways to express myself.
