Jay R. Midas: Chapters

by Jay R. Midas

It started off a sesh, now it's a coming of age with calamity, action, adventure, drama and lessons. The symbolism of humanity’s complexity is represented by Jay R. Midas’ collection of sunglasses. Like any classic adventure, there are artifacts to gather and Easter eggs to discover. Each aspect of Midas has its own unique quirk and gift. The “cast” of Jon E. Midas, 06’, BB Wayz, 'Nolito' and Rando bring personality, poetry, music, gems and puzzle pieces to bring reality and the poet back to wholeness. Mega Midas is the villain we all eventually fight. The war inside, Chapters.Jay R. Midas
