A Tribute to Michael Jackson

King of popular music
…master of the big stage
Entertainer extraordinaire
…with deep and wide appeal

Michael Jackson, the cultural icon
…transcended all barriers with approval
Renowned and treasured

…a rare talent undying

Tears for a fallen star…
…travelling gloriously beyond
Celebration for his inestimable gifts
…peoples love Michael Jackson

A revolutionary in song…
…an activist of note
A generation pleased
…with the masterful virtuoso

Michael Jackson, the spirit of groove
…his music of verve
…wakes up the dead

Moonwalking the will…
…paving the way
Eliminating the barriers
...of discrimination
…one prized piece at a time

His unifying music
…consolidative and curative
Thank you Michael for it all
Sleep well my brother
…we shall met again
…in timeless elation

Until then, the king of pop reigns
…in our distinct hearts
With celebrated admiration and awe
…forever prized and sanctified
