My eyes are heavy, as I watch news footage of you gliding
across the stage and gyrating your pelvis,
At this moment in time this is bigger than the Duke, man,
this is bigger than Elvis!
Though you made your living with words, today there are no
words to express the way the world feels,
Right now there is no need to go into your discography
because it encompasses valleys and hills.
But where do I begin, should I start with your amazing
solo career or should I start with the Jackson 5,
When you were just a cute little boy,
On stage you were talented and outgoing,
Yet off stage you were introspective and coy,
In the 70's, you put the world into a trance with
your Œfro and bell bottomed jeans as you did the robot,
Michael, you had everyone at your feet because when you
danced and sang you gave all that you got!
Nat King Cole was a merry ole soul as he sat perched up
against mama's old wooden phonograph next to Nat King Cole,
Billie Holiday and the Jackson's Destiny album,
Lord have mercy, you were all mature, sexy and handsome!
Ooh, wee, or should I say 'hee hee hee' about that
pulsating falsetto,
That reached every country, mansion, island, barrio, hut, prison
and every ghetto.
I am old school and I remember coming home from school
putting on your album,
These were the days before CD¹s, MP3 players, and IPODS,
Goodness gracious, listening to your music was heaven sent
directly from God.
You were a great admirer of the legendary James Brown,
It warmed my heart to see you at an award show holding his
crown.
You ruled the 80's with a glittering iron glove,
:DMoon walking into the hearts of millions
Moving as gracefully and as freely as a dove.
Newborns coming into the world already know your name,
Ailing grandparents in their last days know the same.
You are Gary¹s finest but the world dubbed you the
'Gloved One'
Michael, your legacy is HIStory, DESTINY, OFF THE WALL,
INVINCIBLE,
BAD and most definitely a THRILLER.
You are the King of Pop the ŒMan In The Mirror! You
'rocked our world¹ for over 40 years.
You gave us such memorable songs as Who¹s Lovin You, Gotta
Be There,
Heart Break Hotel, Butterflies, PYT, Billie Jean, Earth
Song, Can You Feel It,
Working Day And Night, The Girl Is Mine, Say, Say, Say,
and we ''Remember The Time¹ you told us that 'We Are The
World' and to 'Ease on Down The Road.
You sold out football field stadiums and integrated MTV
music videos.
Back in the day we wore your buttons and donned white socks
and penny loafers,
Now here we stand today in shock and sadness but we know
your pain is over.
Michael, we miss you and though you said ³Heaven
Can Wait', You Are Not
Alone, and I' Can't Help It' 'Human Nature' is the reason 'I Just Can¹t Stop Loving Love You'.
You were a great humanitarian a sensitive human being,
Who came to earth and completed your journey now you will
have eternal rest,
The world loves you ŒGloved One¹ but the Lord truly knows
best.
We 'Never Can Say Goodbye¹ to you 'Lovely One.'
WE LOVE YOU, MJ.
