A Tribute to Michael Jackson
By Dennis A. Dames
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
Universally 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
