A shock rippled the globe yesterday The King of Pop music had passed away Rumors of his lifestyle was blasted feverishly I didn’t care for the alleged, it’s the truths I see By the time he was five years old he was a superstar Uniting fans with his skills from countries afar The next 4 decades he made the stage a wife Entertained and pioneered entertainment with his extraordinary life This boyish man gave more than generously Over pushed himself at the dismay of his family Michael Jackson sat by the bedsides of kids suffering In the shadows of his spotlight he prayed for people dying Collaborated with greats to produce even greater songs Heal the World and Black and White to right global wrongs And this hip popping, crotch grabbing star with his single glove Eloquently shared off stage his big heart and liberal love Lots of awards celebrated his dynamic fame Jackson was loved by fans and Presidents the same As a kid I just knew that his songs made me feel Clouds laid beneath the places where I sat or kneel Kindness is a deed to most but it was a condition to him Selflessly he dug into his pockets even when times were grim Out of my life but the Thriller will never be gone No time will erase the Legacy which this Legend had drawn
Moonwalks across the stage I see him and I see the fans’ rage Can’t get enough it’s gone too soon He vanishes like the shadows at high noon A song sung with no harmony then the music comes in Entertainers pluck their guitar string Like the sunset that dies with the rising of the moon Gone with a the twinkling of the eye, gone too soon On a cloudy day the sun may vanish away No time to play, goon too soon, ‘til another day Evening sky lit with the blazing comet Tail gone too soon, you can’t find it Or a rainbow shiny and sparkling, splendidly bright Overhead is gone too soon when evening makes night Sand castle built on the tide line at the beach Overcome and gone too soon within the waves’ reach Our Michael with his muse, inspiration and delightful tune Now or at any time later would be Gone Too Soon!
A Tribute To Michael Jackson
ReplyDeleteA shock rippled the globe yesterday
The King of Pop music had passed away
Rumors of his lifestyle was blasted feverishly
I didn’t care for the alleged, it’s the truths I see
By the time he was five years old he was a superstar
Uniting fans with his skills from countries afar
The next 4 decades he made the stage a wife
Entertained and pioneered entertainment with his extraordinary life
This boyish man gave more than generously
Over pushed himself at the dismay of his family
Michael Jackson sat by the bedsides of kids suffering
In the shadows of his spotlight he prayed for people dying
Collaborated with greats to produce even greater songs
Heal the World and Black and White to right global wrongs
And this hip popping, crotch grabbing star with his single glove
Eloquently shared off stage his big heart and liberal love
Lots of awards celebrated his dynamic fame
Jackson was loved by fans and Presidents the same
As a kid I just knew that his songs made me feel
Clouds laid beneath the places where I sat or kneel
Kindness is a deed to most but it was a condition to him
Selflessly he dug into his pockets even when times were grim
Out of my life but the Thriller will never be gone
No time will erase the Legacy which this Legend had drawn

Life is frail and no one knows their time we’ll be called. It always seems too soon
ReplyDeleteMichael Gone Too Soon
Moonwalks across the stage
I see him and I see the fans’ rage
Can’t get enough it’s gone too soon
He vanishes like the shadows at high noon
A song sung with no harmony then the music comes in
Entertainers pluck their guitar string
Like the sunset that dies with the rising of the moon
Gone with a the twinkling of the eye, gone too soon
On a cloudy day the sun may vanish away
No time to play, goon too soon, ‘til another day
Evening sky lit with the blazing comet
Tail gone too soon, you can’t find it
Or a rainbow shiny and sparkling, splendidly bright
Overhead is gone too soon when evening makes night
Sand castle built on the tide line at the beach
Overcome and gone too soon within the waves’ reach
Our Michael with his muse, inspiration and delightful tune
Now or at any time later would be Gone Too Soon!
