Michael Jackson - The Man in the Mirror

Exceptional entertainer

Who delivered

Electrifying performances:

Songs and dancing

That incited feelings

And excited the soul.

Michael Jackson –

King of Pop

King of moonwalk

King of robot

King of the stage

And king forever.

But what about love?

He loved all

From the bottom of his heart;

He really did.

How many did love Michael back?

Who gave him the love and friendship

We, as human beings, need?

Who knew Michael the man,

Not the entertainer?

Who was the man in the mirror?

The sad truth is we, the fans,

Didn’t know the person within;

We didn’t look behind

The spectacular performances:

We didn’t look inside his heart.

The pain must have been intense enough

To turn to Demerol for oblivion

And oblivion he found

When he stopped looking

At the man in the mirror

On June 25, 2009.

We, the fans, will always remember

Michael Jackson and love him.

Finally he has found fulfillment

And happiness before the Almighty.
