In life we are quick to make a wish, but have we looked at the consequences. King Midas did not and was forced to renounce his wish about wanting everything he touched turn into gold.
Be careful
What you wish for
You just might get it
Then regret it
- – -
Do you want
To be wealthy
Having all the money
In the world
- – -
You figure
That money would
Be able to buy
Everything
- – -
Money
Could make every wish
Come through
Like having the best
Health care, goods
And services
- – -
This will be like
King Midas
When Dionysus
A Greek god of fertility
Granted his heart’s desire

He wished
That everything
He touched
Be turned into gold
Hence the phrase
“The Midas Touch”
- – -
The only problem was
When he tried eating
His meal became gold
As he attempted to drink
His drink turned
Solid gold
- – -
He tried to wash
In the River Pactolus
That became gold
- – -
Seeing his predicament
And starving
Midas beseeched Dionysus
To remove his wish
Which had become a curse
- – -
“All that glitters is not gold”
And “be careful for what you ask”
You may regret it
For the rest of your life
- – -
You may not be as lucky
As Midas
That had his wish
Lifted by an understanding
Dionysus

Yes indeed, we must be careful in our life but it is not like reality that your such wishes are going to come true.
