-Jay R. Midas
In the Penultimate episode of Jay R. Midas Chapter 4.0, we find ourselves in the Prime Timeline year 2030- where Mega Midas is surprised to find that life found existence beyond the cataclysmic event of 2028 Prime. He has returned since his escape to find that his son Leon See is not only alive but a costumed samaritan with a high moral compass. His arch rival The Fire Breathing Dragonfly has the upper hand in this showdown. How serendipitous that when Pidgeblack is need of a lifeline, his father Jon E. Midas (Mega Midas) would show up just in time!

Cannot believe I'm finally saying this are only two episodes remaining in the series. The story of Jay R. Midas Chapters has had plenty of twists, turns, detours and destinations that spanned close to 3 years. The story development, animation and poetry have all evolved throughout throughout the course of a century. Now we have arrived in 2088 for the final time at the Museum of the Modern Millennial where we come across a codex that documented a very unique, talented and tenacious generation. Momentum has seemingly shifted among the two remaining Midas'. The journey toward wholeness is nearing completion. The following episode is a dedication to my friends who have both supported and collaborated with me. Special thanks, love and blessings to you all.

Starting here, the answer is always to be… and if we could be ourselves, even better.
At some point we all knew this had to get Shakespearian. Mega Midas performs a cover from Hamlet. The famous silioquy that we all know the first line but we forget the BARS that follow. Mega Midas dons the Eyes of Reality, now uninterrupted. This spells trouble for BB Wayz and Yaj.

Coach Nolito takes on BB Wayz that confronts himself like no other episode previously. Jay R. Midas in two different states, battling it out to see whose path is going to lead them to fulfillment. The clip of the distortion that sets the tone, based on the 3rd Cardinal Virtue is from Royal and the Serpant-Temperance a definite playlist add!

Round 2- Yaj 06' vs. Mega Midas
Mega Midas responds to 06's surprise attack as BB Wayz helps his younger self by tossing him an item that could swing the battle in the opposite direction. It appears that 06' might have taken a direct strike, but who emerges? The themes of this episode are contrast and duality demonstrated between the grown and the maturing Midas.

Round 2- Yaj 06' vs. Mega Midas
Yaj 06' returns the favor with a surprise of his own! Mega Midas is daring 06' to bring maximum damage. In celebration of the poet's real life sister, young Jay R. Midas is recants his sister's 3rd Grade story. Rewinding back to Chapter 3.5 Dissent into 2088- "Siblings Through the Ages", some of Amethyst Lexi's work has made it back in the collection. As a grown up reading this, I found some deep themes and truthful psychology connected with the universal reminder, not to take anyone for granted, especially not mom. Both a cover and a story within a story, there is nothing stronger than the bonds of family.
Is this the key to derail Mega Midas?

To further throw off the inexperienced Yaj 06', Mega Midas delivers "The Dead Seed" (2024), new sh.. a sampler of Chapter 5.0 Foe-B-Ah Phi-EL's- The Journey to Happiness is Through Facing Fears. 06' may not yet be ready for the wrath of Mega Midas...

Mega Midas is in possession of his super powered rival's shades and It appears he is no longer pulling punches and is looking to pick up where it all began, Mega Midas vs. 06' in the rematch that set off the events that bring us to this very poetry battle. Both BB Wayz and Rando weigh on Midas 06' (Yaj Powered Glasses) chances in this battle. Just then when we think there isn't a new variable to consider, the scene changes!

Midas Chapters was inspired by the thought "What are the 4 Cardinal Virtues in song form?" I stumbled upon some great finds. The following is the first virtue being, "Prudence" by Kola.

At the end of the Nolito and Rando battle, Rando is no where to be found. It is assumed that he has been destroyed by Nolito's insurmountable attack so the team of BB Wayz and 06 are left in shambles. With the odds stacked against them 06' has had enough. BB Wayz is the voice of reason, though truthfully, do they have any hope of victory, let alone survival? It's Commamania!

Is this the end of the battle? Nolito prepares to strike and Rando seems to have eluded to conceding. Nolito recites an acrostic poem that shifts the momentum of an already mismatched battle. The title of the poem is the name of the very poet reciting the work.

Does Rando have a Trick Up His Sleeve? Rando asks Nolito to place their phone's at place and then challenges him with a poem based on their personified names, "Reddish and Bloosie". The poem started in on book and ended in another (Dark Renaissance/Perch 1). After this episode, rewind back to Chapter 4.0 Pg. 2 "Color" to connect the dots back to the beginning of the chapter.

The first time Nolito and Rando meet face to face since Rando benched Coach in Chapter 3.0.1 The Future is a 2nd Away Act II.

We have arrived in 2088 where the battle gets set to take place. A few familiar sounds from the first chapter are reprised throughout this episode to indicate the time travel calamity we have found in the audio pages of our poetry story. A sample from a personal favorite I like to vibe out to, "Gate to Oneness-Inner Lotus Music" sets the mood for balance and create this feel of a "calm before the storm". A callback to a Chapter III future!TENSE episode. Are the two teams prepared for this showdown? Who will begin to take the stage? What is team Rando going to do about the potential mismatch? How many Midas' does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

This is officially the 100th posted episode but do not get the streamers out just yet... I owe you two episodes. Two episodes are the same narration from the first episode of the third chapter (just with different sounds and feels). We will call this the celebratory 100th post but it is also known as Episode 98 (bonuses and all). However it is considered, what makes the episode special is that it features my sister. The character Amethyst Lexi is almost a decade younger than Midas 06'. This episode plays with the idea of a swap in roles among siblings. This episode demonstrates a brief interaction between a high school senior and his little 91 year old little sister.100th post in dedication to my Day 1 since my 9th Year.-Jay R.

Since we are in the sweet spot in between Halloween and the Holiday Season, here comes the 97th episode with the Witch reference you didn't remember. In the opening of Chapter 3.0 Episode 1- The Story So Far a witch was slipped in to the telling of the narration, which loops back around to this particular moment. This mysterious character makes a request to Midas and 2 of his closest friends in December of 2021 which helped to set off the following events that have since unfolded. This is a reimagined follow up of JRM meeting the witch again in the year 2088. She separates BB Wayz from the rest of his team (Midas 06', bRoDi Botz and MiL-ez Ocho) as they were about to find some much needed answers. However, a significant piece of the puzzle may have just actually approached Jay. The songs used in this piece comes from the 1920's "Jazz Land" transforms to "Forsaken". In case you need a refresher of the Witch reference, click on one of the following links for Chapter 3.0, Episode 1- The Story So Far. 1. Greensleeves Version2. Uncharted X Tina Guo Version3.

The Era Was 2003-2006.
Teen Angst.
Unrequited Love.
Choppy Rhyme Schemes.
Slightly Misguided Ambitions.
A Gentle Reminder that Things Don’t Get Easier After Adolescence.
Why?
Because…
J.R Midas would like to take you back to a time before high-speed internet. Getting away from the problems of today and entering into the seemingly laughable crises of yesteryear. Simple straight up no frills poetry that is easy to understand, to connect with, and to dissect. Depression symptoms? Phase? Immaturity? The delivery attempts to go back to a time long forgotten and speak to the feelings of adolescent convictions- without insulting such an important time period for growth, "inner-conflict-resolution" and life changing moments. Midas uses his past work as the compass for progress, growth, and maturation over the course of 2 decades.
**Like any Artifact, some of the work needs to be patched up here and there. These poems come gently modified from it's original form.
5. "The Eternal Struggle"
Page 5. No Plateaus. Let's make this our first checkpoint. More tales will be shared later, if interested subscribe to "J.R. Midas Poetry Sesh" on Spotify (and now Apple Podcasts) for pop-updates. Episode Description Below:
A child who cannot yet conceptualize eternity... Yet, does he feel the generational struggle of his people? Is he affected by the inner-city public housing environment? Is he unaware of the that optimism poverty provides? Is he on the verge of discovering his true purpose? One step closer to getting to the source of his woes. The journey of the "Emotional Warrior", J.R. Midas.
4. "Why Does it Hurt?"
Page 4. The Open Book Chronicles. A display of over-exposure. Stepping into the shoes of a much younger J.R. Midas; to express a tempered level of exasperation and hopelessness felt during this time. Not realizing how important of a question "WHY?" truly is. It hurts because that's the nature of life young Midas. "Love is reciprocity. Love does not exist on a one-way street". - J. R. Midas

1. "Sitting in an Empty Room"
A moment preserved. The first page of the old rhyme book. Learning an early harsh lesson about the inequity of heartbreak. "It gets better young Midas."
-J.R. Midas
A recently performed poem by Jon E. Midas, the audio version is now available. A poem that includes the classic story telling & spoken word elements that listeners enjoy so much. Jon E. Midas describes a lifestyle change within a 4-day span. This particular piece demonstrates the stylistic range of the emerging poet. Welcome to your new home Midas.
"Is it a test or is it a sign?" A life affirming destination for a weary traveler. The challenges of NYC had piled up and all direction had been lost, then Midas met Nola. A story of rebirth, written in a beautiful room overlooking the New Orleans skyline. Affirmations revealed and bonds forged. A 3 minute sample of a Jon E. Midas walking through the French Quarter titled “Harmonic Sounds of NOLA”. J.R. [Midas] stepped on the plane in New Orleans with an empty bucket and Jon E. Midas returned to the big apple to bring back the gems he picked up from the big easy.
To be Puerto Rican is a badge of honor that a proud particular can claim.
People love the beauty, food culture, music, dance, flair and spirit of Puerto Rican traditions. But...we must be kinder to ourselves and each other. The story for this poem begins Summer 2019 in Carolina, PR, where a bar owner is sitting down with Jon E. Midas asking, "Owner: Why don't you move here? Jon E: They might not embrace me because "I'm not Puerto Rican enough". Owner: Nah, it's not like that here. This is your home too. Jon E: You don't know how much I needed to hear that". Owner: takes a nasal ski trip Although there are many experiences that shape this particular recording, the message is to become the triumph and unity that we know we are deep down inside.
A snapshot of inner-conflict.
Generational implications.
Intersectionality within intersectionality.
Nuyorican pride and the perception of limitation.
No frills.
All love.
-Jon E. Midas
Walking through the streets of NOLA, testing his new voice recorder and at a crossroads, Jon E. Midas has a little fun with an "Off-the-Top" Poetry Sesh that wasn't planned originally planned to make the collection. But as the chapter implies, don't rely TOO heavily on plans.
The goal was to work on Chapter 2 but Jon E. Midas (aka J.R. Midas) became sidetracked off-course.
"A simple poem about love, loss, and growth. The next direction is forward when things go South."
-Jon E. Midas

The original poem recording has disappeared! Or J.R. Midas felt the piece needed a different emphasis and slight tailoring. Enjoy the Remix. It takes on a different tone with the original description but the message has not changed :)
The original title of this piece was "No Vaxation Without Representation" or "The Conversation that Creates Social Distance" but that would have sent the wrong message. This is a poem of optimism and hope and personal choices. Sometime it's not about being right but about acting right when and where you can. The problem is when your right conflicts with another person's right, then who is right? It is not for me to answer this question, it's just for me to write a poem about the thing that has been in our ears for the last 3 years. Additionally, no matter your stance, let's embrace the hurdles that we have presently jumped over as a species to get to this moment. I act as a mirror reflecting the many personalities of New York City during the time of confusion and over saturation of information.
