HUMANly
June 25th had me bewildered, shocked and YES outdone.
Who'd they say died?... MICHAEL JOE JACKSON?!!
He gave of his everything. His entertaining SURPASSED great?
Without DIGNITY, the media reminded not all could appreciate.
Barraged with a negative BETRAYAL, it kept me tired and sick.
Can we mourn our BELOVED, who left us unexpectedly quick?
In our MINDS, ineffectively attempting, hoping to rationalize...
SUBJECTED to the contemptable, innumberable lies...
Told with such malice and utter DESPISE...
10 days digging dirt, then a "DONATED" rush to memorialize.
MASS communications caused me to search for the plan.
Why did it seem like they were dissecting the MAN?
He excelled beyond ANY, made the world rewrite the test,
Then THRILLED us beyond belief, undisputedly putting it to rest.
With Obama in "da HOUSE", I supposed the world finally knew,
All that talk about his daddy and it COULD actually be true.
Motown 25 showed the RESULT, ya'll should've had a clue.
That Michael Joe Jackson let it do... what BLACK folks do!
