What Can I Say Of Michael Jackson

In life he was a pop music icon and much of him written and said
And he received some very bad press but now that he is dead
He is mourned by the masses pop music fans Worldwide
For to become sort of a Demigod the supposedly flawed living legend died.

What can I say of Michael Jackson since I never knew the man
He became wealthy and famous in his half of a century life span
But what can I say about him since him I did not know
Though his legend born in his life in his death can only grow.

That he is mourned by the star struck Worldwide in every Land
Is something that befuddles me I do not understand
How can they mourn the passing of one they had not known
One has to ask the Question do they have lives of their own?

I do not grieve for Michael Jackson why should I he is dead
Though much about him said and written and much about him I have read
Instead my thoughts go to the poor of the bigger World out there
The have nots and the homeless and they live everywhere.
