Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson.

Gary, Indiana his place of birth
not a pastoral paradise on earth.
Thick smoke plumes filled the air
grimy, industrial, landscape bare.

Nineteen fifty eight the year
eighth of ten to appear.
Michaels father bullied him
early days frightening, grim.

Slagging Michaels youthful looks
constantly on tenterhooks.
Vomiting at the sight of father
mentally never to recover.

Luckily a talented boy
destined to bring great joy.
Starting with The Jackson Five
superb and bound to thrive.

Rhythm and timing Michaels gift
giving his fans a joyous lift.
Teaming up with Quincy Jones
producing some vibrant tones.

Thriller best and more to come
none to beat this great album.
Aged fifty Michael Jackson died
left a world he'd electrified.
