Holding His Own

Michael Jackson is so well known
Prince of Pop sits on a throne
Moonwalk his game
His claim to fame
White glove holding his own

His Pepsi commercial where this little kid imitates him, circa 1984, is my favorite. Ever see it?! It's 1 minute 29 seconds of amazing!

What a wonderful Limerick write. So sad he had a bad life. Somethings money can Not fix. His music/shows were amazing. Hope he now has peace. Have a wonderful autumn day writing away ...............

Michael Jackson was one of the greatest entertainers of all time. His song Ben I loved, when I was ten years old. It was one of his first hits. The thriller album was phenomenal. Did you know that Michael owned Sony he was one of the Highest share holders. They manipulated the contract and the Sony company stole their company back from Michael. I felt so sad when he passed on. I think there was foul play in his death. I never believed he did what they claimed to children. I believe they set him up.

Yes I knew he owned Sony and he was so kind he often gave artists the rights back to their works! Did you know Eminem the artist did a disrespectful track about Michael? So Michael made no comment but purchased Eminem’s whole collection and got paid every time the artist performed! Often people who go against the establishment end up dead or suddenly smeared or both! God knows Michael’s heart and he finally has peace something I don’t think he had alive.
