The Trial*****collaboration******

In the news today
I watched in despair
I saw Michael Jackson
With gnats in his hair

I wish this would end
This media plight
Take all the evidence
It will all end tonight

He arrived a little late
Had a warrant for his arrest
Whatever he receives
He'd best not contest

For his fame will not conjure
Neverland is no more
Not for nothing he still is
A media whore

He once was a black man
A key member of the Jackson Five
Transformed into a white woman
In prison he won't survive

They'll take away your jammies
And you can't wear your coat
Your cell mate named Bubba
How soon he will gloat

Does he really molest children
In his own amusement park?
What, does he lure them in
By telling them:
"I'm afraid of the dark"

Martha's no longer there
So you won't have no friends
For the boys hate molesters
Your life soon may end

In the after-life for you
There will no be no pearly gates
Only Bubba in a thong
"I now pronounce you soul mates!"

Now the news is over
I've heard enough for one night
You're going down Mr. black/white man
Hope you have sweet dreams tonight.

Men, if I be permitted to comment, if not please forgive. My take,now! You are enjoying strife at present. In the, so called, after life, boys have to put away their wicked toys, and become men, where only true life begins. I offer no opinion on Michael's character whatever! At any rate, Jared your write was well thought out and put together, excellent write, witty as usual. Sincerely Moses

Not sure exactly what is meant here. Is this from a news report? Sara
