"The Man"

"The crowd is tense, the stage is bare.
They look to see, no one is there.
A light snaps on, he stands chest bare.
A wraith like image, they catch his stare.

The music starts, a pulsing rhyme,
His body sways and moves in time.
His hands are raised, his voice, it soars
The crowd ignites, as one it roars.

His dancing, moving like no other,
sends daughters screaming for their mother.
He gives his all, his heart and soul
His music makes the young feel whole.

The lights go dim, he moves away,
To show his magic another day.
The toll it takes no one can see
To be the best for you and me.

All his life he's had to bear
The load of always being there.
To give his life, his heart and soul
Exposed to all, as in a bowl.

No chance to simply be himself,
Forever being on the shelf.
He cannot do the simple things,
Like simple folk, no joy it brings.

Why should he be the one to pay
The price of fame, to fade away?
So very soon before his time
Too soon, for him the bell did chime."

Berry Gordy & Gavin DeGraw:

"Michael Jackson went into orbit and never came down. Though it ended way too soon, Michael's life was beautiful. Sure there was some sad times and maybe some questionable decisions on his part, but Michael Jackson accomplished everything he dreamed of. The more I think about Michael and talk about Michael the more I think that 'King of Pop' is not good enough. I think he is simply the greatest entertainer that ever lived."

"Michael Jackson was a musical icon to so many people, including artists, and his career spanned over such a long period of time that it was a part of more than just one generation. It may be the end of his physical life, but the life of his music and dance will continue to be an important source of entertainment for generations to come. It is sad that there were so many haunting stories around his existence that have tarnished his reputation."

Marissa Stevens:

"Every June 25th, My heart breaks just a little bit more. I grew up listening to this man, This extrordinary man. His lyrics captivated me. He inspired me. He left a trademark on the world, Not just for his talent, But his huge, huge heart. Words cannot possibley pinpoint how much this man influenced my life. I never got to see him in person, And it's heartbreaking to know that I never can. But I loved him. I always will love him. I remember being a young little girl, Around seven years old, and blasting my mother's Thriller record in my room, Studying the lyrics. Watching the music videos, And being mezmorized by his dancing, His entire persona, His way of life. He created a generation of music that cannot be topped, Cannot be defeated, Even tested. To think of such a thing would be disrespectful to Michael's memory. He is the man. And I will forever miss him, And wish I'd got a glimpse of his magic. I can only dream. And relive his memory through the large variety of music videos and movies he created and was featured in. I love him. I dedicated this account to him, Because I love him.

Rest in peace, To the king. 

 

The poem is called "We Had Him" by Dr. Maya Angelou.
"Beloveds, Now we know that we know nothing. Now that our bright and shining star, Can slip away from our fingertips, Like a puff of summer wind, Without notice, Our dear love can escape our doting embrace, Sing our songs among the stars and dances across the face of the moon, In the instant we learn that Michael is gone, We know nothing. No clocks can tell our time, No oceans can rush our tides. With the abrupt absence of our treasure, Though we are many, Each of us is achingly alone. Piercingly alone. Only when we confess our confusion, Can we remember that he was a gift to us. And we did have him. He came to us from the creator, Trailing creativity and abundance, Despite the anguish of life, He was chief in mother love, And family love. And survived. And did not more than that, He thrived. With passion, And compassion. Humor and style. We had him. Whether we knew who he was, Or did not.He was ours, And we were his. We had him, Beautiful, Delighting our eyes. He raked his hat, Slant over his brow. And took a pose on his toes for all of us. And we laughed and stomped our feet, For him. We were enchanted with his passion. He gave us nothing; He gave us all he had been given. Today, In Tokyo, Beneath the Eiffel Tower, In Ghana's black star square. In Johannesburg, In Birmingham Alabama, And Birmingham England, We are missing Michael Jackson. But we do know, We had him. And we are the world."
