Michael

A tribute to the King of Pop (1958-2009)

There was once a kid,

Like any other kid,

Who liked playing ball

And to go for a swim.

Instead he sang

‘till the wee hours of dawn,

Pushed hard by a father

Who just loved the dough.

And the kid grew up,

And boy could he sing!

And boy could he move!

He loved some Elvis,

And the boogie and the blues!

You name it,

The kid knew it!

Did he have some golden pipes!

But, oh the pain,

Like a cancer it grew fast.

The stage was his

And it exploded with applause;

He outgrew his brothers

And his sister pretty soon.

He sang out loud,

With a voice that was so his;

And he got himself crowned

As the king of somethin’ hip!

But, oh the pain,

Like a cancer it grew fast;

And the kid kept getting older,

But still stuck in his past.

He looked pale like a vampire,

With hair so strangely dark.

What is up with all the make-up?

And why are you looking so sad?

Not one person in this world,

Understood him really well…

I don’t think that true,

great friendships

Ever came his way…

And how about love?

He married twice, alright…

But the greatest of affections

That…he only got from fans.

He is an icon!

He is a king!

He is so amazing!

Bigger than life!

But the man in the mirror,

Wished he had them wings

So he could fly

To build himself a home

With the lost boys,

Captain Hook and Peter Pan.

Who would have thought

He was so fragile?

A heart so filled with dreams

All shattered to the core;

It’s okay now, kid…

You are free to leave,

You soul must soar;

You’ll pack heaven for a jam

That them angels should enjoy!

Thank you, buddy, for

Making my childhood so bright

and for the videos

And for the songs I learned by heart;

Where you’ll be they’ll love you, Michael…

It won’t matter if you are black

Or white!
