Michael Jackson: From Neverland To Eternaland

[Timlong]

A tribute poem in honor of the King of Pop as the world marks the one year anniversary of his transition to eternal glory. Michael Jackson, unarguably, remains the best entertainer the World has ever seen – living or dead.

August 29, 1958
The Battle For Life Is Won
Without A Screaming Tabloid Headline
Without A Night Vigil By The Paparazzi; Without the Klieg lights
Only A Baby’s First Song For Love And Healing
An Unfamiliar tiny Little Cry Unstirring An Unfamiliar World

The World Is Awakened by the little dwarf in the 5
After Only 1,465 Days And Nights
The Sweet Little Voice Is The Charm;
The Dancing Is The Magic.
Fred Astaire, Jackie Wilson and James Brown
All Singing and Dancing In The Little Man
Albeit, Notes And Steps Higher Than ‘Ere

'’Big Boy, ABC, I’ll Be There
Can You Feel It! Ben, Music And Me
Off The Wall, She’s Out of My Life, Leave Me Alone
Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, Rock With You
Burn This Disco Out.......................’’

The Ears Of The World Twitched In Awe
It Never Stopped To Listen
It’s Hips And Legs Never Stopped Dancing
Sleep Had Been Murdered
The Singing And Dancing Were Now Everybody’s Dream

The Cicatrices Of The Sacrifice
Forever Lived In The Child – Man
Never Growing Old And Never Growing Up
An Unkind World Awakened By A Prodigy
A Garland of Fame And Fortune Bedecked
In Exchange For The Child In The Talent

November 30, 1982 – The Birth of Thriller!
The Biggest Album In Music History
Even The Dead Woke Up And Got Dancing, Moon Walking!
Music Had Never Been So BAD,
So DANGEROUS INVINCIBLE Until HISTORY (HIStory) Was Made

‘’Billie Jean, Beat It, Thriller
Human Nature, The Girl Is Mine
Wanna Be Starting Something, Pretty Young Thing (P.Y.T)
Bad, Another Part Of Me, Man In The Mirror, Dirty Diana
Heal The World, Speechless, Liberian Girl,
I Just Can’t Stop Loving You, Smooth Criminal
Keep It In The Closet, Black Or White, You Are Not Alone
Break Of Dawn, One More Chance..............................’’

Over 200 Songs In 50 Years
Songs That Continue To Breathe & Live Forever
Beyond Dust To Dust
Like The Sun That Can Never Die, But Rests
The Man In The Mirror Is You And I
Our Deeds That Shape The World

Michael,
The World Was Yours For Every Song
And Every Song You Sang Was A New World
When You Have The World In Your Pocket
You Have A Pocket Full Of Trouble
What A Price To Pay – The Sacrifice of The Childhood
To Heal An Unkind World

Thursday June 25, 2009
The Battle For Life Is Lost
Death Has Only Taken Away The Fedora Hat
Death Has Only Taken Away The White Socks, The Sequined Gloves
Death Has Only Taken Away The Screaming Tabloid Headlines
Death Has Found The Biggest Treasure Of All Time -
Peace Of The Missing Childhood -
Death Has Only Elevated Michael Jackson
From Neverland To Eternaland.

As the consummate SONG/DANCE performer, most definitely.

Others might be his equal or even better singing and/or dancing.
Others might be his equal or have more of that tangible charisma, charm, inner and outer beauty, humbleness, magic and overall specialness enabling them to connect to an audience, in a way that everyone feels he is communicating to them individually.

But there is NO ONE in my admittedly totally unobjective opinion that has it all in one package like the one and only MJ!

Not one single person in the history of the Entertainment industry has accomplished more then Michael Jackson.


And I'm not just talking about record sales............


I'm talking about his ability to reach into the hearts of probably hundreds of millions of people from every corner of the world..........


Michael's music is the closest thing we have found to a universal language..........

Because wherever you are from, whatever language you speak, you will be able to recognise Michael's voice and his timeless melody's!!!!!!!!
