“Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” by Myron Christian

I wanted to share this with you all… this is some of my new work done
in Kenya last month. The story is called Midnight in the Garden of Good
and Evil.

It basically is the age-old story of man’s wanton desire to be KING
at any cost. Living in New York City, it becomes really easy to fall
into that “money is the root of happiness/ money motivated” trap.

If you ever wonder why I have the look of melancholy on the 27th, its because I am reminded that rent is due on the 1st.

We often forget that the hours we put into these corporations to help
fuel our nation’s thriving economy, are also the hours that we take
from our friends and families. And ourselves. In other countries people work
to live, while we in the Big Apple live to work.

I am not saying that it is bad to be passionate about something. But growing up in places like Sierra Leone and Washington D.C. has shown me that the pursuit of money, for each individual, has its own cost.

As Rich’s daughter, 2 year old Nyatche, would sing from James Brown, “paid the cost, to be the boss.” Thank you for taking the time to view my work.
