A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Free Verse
King Midas
by Gypsy Blue Rose
King Midas loved gold and wished everything he touched would turn.
He touched his palace, sneakers, watches, KFC, Diet Coke, Big Mac, toilet throne, rich friends, and even his royal kin folks.
After a while, he realized it was not a blessing or a good concept. It was a curse.
He wished everything would turn back the way it once was. Nah, just kidding, he loved gold more

The story of King Midas is a myth about the tragedy of greed and selfishness. Midas was a man who wished that everything he touched would turn into gold. However, he had not thought that this wish was not a blessing, but a curse He turned food to gold, the family he loved, etc⦠His greed invites us to think and realize the consequences that may lead us to become slaves of our own desires.
