King Midas
Tell me King Midas
Where did you get this power from?
You privately message the women who use your platform,
Infect her mind with charming words
I can't count how many girls you have in your belt
Or under that conveyor belt changing themselves for you
It shouldn't surprise me King Midas
You were always a vain person
Who would use good looks and fake love
To make them fall in love and change their looks
But still King Midas
I feel the need to say
That you're everything wrong in life
You promote your victims,
Let's call them clones since they have no originality now,
Instead of true beauty and hardwork
You know, things that actually deserve recognition
Really King Midas?
You're upset with her because she didn't fall for you,
Because she had the nerve to call you out
I guess your approval wasn't her weakspot
Really King Midas?
You're upset with her too?
What's wrong with what she said, she just spoke her truth
And so what if she doesn't look like one of your clones
Or any other shallow version of pretty?
You can't be serious King Midas
Did you have to make a post teasing them,
And others like them,
And then banish all of them after that?
I wonder if you know what this act has done
Then again, I doubt that you care about the women you hurt
Or about the teasing and harrassment that they face
That's okay because you'll get yours someday
That's sad King Midas
I couldn't help but hear the news
I can't believe Zoe would try to commit suicide
Since the bullying she faced was too much for her
I knew you would have to realize the consequences of your actions
But I wouldn't want that to happen through your daughter
Please renew your mind King Midas
Wash away the vanity, the greediness
Your selfish desires that's as unfulfilling as gold
Wash it all away in the river
