<center> The fear is gone,
we are no longer drawn,
into the yawn of
the alarm clock dawn </center>

<center> The slender thread 
of humanity is frayed,
we wring our gnarled hands, 
suffer, weep, then pray </center>

<center> Teary eyes are useless
when the mind can't see,
let your heart take you deeper
into this soliloquy </center>

<center> Operating on the edge,
this idea has the power,
to free us from our bonds
and now is the hour </center>

<center> Decentralized, dissolving power
from the harbingers of misery,
making words at last ring true...
*‘My country ‘tis of thee’* </center>

<center> Our future is so fragile,
our reality-- greed and pain,
it’s time for this binary savior
unleash the blockchain. </center>
