Michael Jackson (a tribute)

M ichael

I  never followed your career.

C an't say I was a true fan but I listened to your music now and then.

H ow do I write a fitting tribute to the king of pop?

A  sad day it was when you died so suddenly, so tragically.

E verywhere around the world, people mourned for you.

L it candles in memory of an icon.

 

J ust a little kid when you started out.

A beautiful voice you gave to the world.

C horeography that only you could teach.

K eep singing and dancing Michael, on your journey to the stars.

S oft spoken gentle creature that you were.

O h, what a friend we had in you.

N ow may we let you rest in peace.

Dear debileah,

Michael Jackson was a super-talent, but a deeply troubled individual. I fear he didn't have the strength of character to weather his fame and the unlimited possibilities that this brought. It was rather a tragic life. I'm sure he knew happiness through some of this life and successes, but for the most part I think he was a deeply sad individual.

I did not follow the funeral at all. I was not surprised to have heard of his death. Such a tragic end, however, at such a relatively young age.

The end of an era and dynasty.

Best regards,

Rick

Very nice poem, I can relate as I wasn't really a big Michael Jackson fan either. I couldn't believe when he died though - very sudden and very shocking. Pretty poem. :)

Great tribute. I loved it

Troubled or not, you cannot deny the late Michael Jackson's sad passing. His life was sad, his passing as well. What a media circus! I prefer debileah's honest tribute over the media which kept us in suspense for hours whether he had died or not ...

Great tribute to a troubled, but all-time great artist. May he find the peace he couldn't find in this world.

nice tribute to the king of pop. I followed Micheal and his brothers ever since they started. I was sadned of his untimely death. But I know that if he is looking down or reading this tribute you wrote of him he would be so proud and glad about how you saw him. GOOD WRITE

A grand tribute by a non-fan. And I appreciate that as an enormous act of generosity.
