Michael Jackson's Birthday

August 29
Michael Jackson's Birthday
He was born in 1958 in Gary, Indiana
He was it back in 1983 moonwalking and exciting people
I bought his album Thriller
He has had so many good songs
His first number one single as a solo artist was Ben
He had Janet Jackson sing on his song PYT (Pretty Young Thing)
"PYT's repeat after me sing La La La (la la la)"
Man in the Mirror was my favorite off his Bad album
Black or White was the best off the Dangerous album
History had a touching song "You Are Not Alone"
They say if you want to be professional at something
It takes three hours a day
Michael was said to take around 10 hours a day
Practicing his dance moves and singing
It is a shame his music didn't play on the radio till after he died
Now he is remembered for his great work
His great love of his fans
His great spirit

About this poem:

Watched a documentary on Michael Jackson and just am still in awe of his contribution to music and dance. He will truly never die as his music lives on forever.

Micheal Jackson was a bad man touching people he should not have touched

Hello, Leony.
For me, "the truth" seems this...

Michael Jackson was once a child who was deeply, deeply, wounded himself. Then, in his adult life, in a variety of ways, acted out the depth of that wounding, that suffering.

Every human being acts out his or her wounding, consciously or unconsciously, until it is heard and responded to, whether as child or adult, until perhaps, Another Way of Being is realized... in this life time or the next.

I am not justifying or not justifying anything; I am simply saying.. nothing comes from nothing.

Mc, thank you for your sharing

Leony1510, thanks for your comments. I wish we could just remember the good that people have done. As of late I've seen many of my heroes fall to disgrace for something or other. Bill Cosby comes to mind as well as Jared the Subway guy. It's just too bad that we have a love of tearing down people for entertainment.

beautifulyou, thanks for your comments. I'm not going to try to get anyone to believe Michael is innocent. I believe he was nice to some really mean people who saw someone to take advantage of. I am glad he is mostly loved still by millions who remember his magic in the 80's.
