To Michael Jackson I Say Rest In Peace

T ribute to Michael Jackson
O ! Your work is immortal in our hearts

M ind blowing songs and touching lyrics
I ntellectuals are still amazed by hidden treasures
C oncealed in his wondrous works
H ymns of love and humanitarian was his message
A ggravated by heartfelt pain of the poor though his was rich
E nd of his journey prompt Nelson Mandela to speak 
L iken him as a “close member of his family” 

J ealous does not pay but a loving heart yields good results
A cts of love were visible throughout his life
C aring attitude seen in his lyrics and in his songs, he was 
K nowledgeable with the world calamities
S o he wrote "heal the world"
O h no! How can I forget "Man in the mirror"
N othing compared to his dance moves

I nnovation around his choreography made him popular

S inging made him a world icon
A mongst many he was king of pop
Y ears invested perfecting his craft

R ewarded him greatly
E very minute of it paid off
S ounds he produced over the years is
T imeless

I n my heart I'm convinced that
N o one will ever match his caliber

P eople's person
E ver smiling
A dmired by millions around the globe
C aring and he did all he could to
E nrich people's lives.
