Michael Jackson: Breaking the Barrier and Defeating the Double Standard
Elvis was "The King"
But he courted his future wife at 14
And they called Mike a pedophile
Who are they kidding now?
The "Memphis Flash" stole everything he had
He should of been just a fad
Some say he was pretty good
But Mike showed them who was "BAD"
He broke down racial barriers
The King of Pop was a pioneer you see
Michael Jackson was the first black artist
To desegregate a racist MTV
He was a chart topper making hit after hit
Dazzling us with his musical genius time after time
He stepped on stage and changed the world
Singing and dancing his way into your heart and mine
No other artist can compare or even come close
To the level of his success and what he achieved
I think that I shall never see again in this lifetime
The world grieve for an artist the way he was grieved
He was ridiculed and crucified by the media
And hung in public court before the verdict was ever read
But he never let down the millions of fans he had around the world(including myself)
And for this he'll live on in our hearts and never be dead
His career spanned over 40 years
He came to us as a gift and even as a child he gave us his all
With beauitful magic and a sparkle in his eyes
He immediately began tearing down racial walls
It's so hard to let go
"I never can say goodbye"
Michael, they appreciated you more after death
But that's just "human nature", WHY?
You had a memorial befit for a king
In death your spirit arose to shine even brighter
And though some still deny your light,you continue to ascend
So it's okay, float on Peter Pan, fly away
For your memory shall never end
In life you were humble, at times appearing as innocent as a child
And you never hesitated to give
No matter what they say, Michael, to me you will always be considered
"The greatest entertainer that ever lived."
