Reverse Midas Touch
Sadim touch, I must say. Is this upturn, yet, bad?
Didn't Midas' touch become, ultimately, sad...?
Not being greedy - is the moral of Midas,
Yet, isn't the Midas episode an eidos...?
What did the king not have, that he didn't decide,
When death meats, who, in this short life will take whose side?
To have health, wealth, and happiness is each one's dream,
Isn't riches in plethora, part of the scheme?
There's a time in each one's life when wants don't come true,
Midst good thoughts and actions, like yeast, frustrations brew...!
Expectations, like wild lilies, grow numerous;
When they fade, for others, our life turns humorous...!
Each touch must be a touch that turns hate into love,
And yearn, contrary to gold, the kingdom above...!!!
