The King Of Pop – A Ballad by emekagh(m): 12:34pm On Jul 15, 2009 |
[b]THE KING OF POP – A BALLAD To those who yearn for an ode As only, the forum bard can Hearken! Ye restless ones, longing for the rested, Hearken! An ode you wished! A ballad I give Of a black boy wonder Who entranced the world Blacks, whites With enchanted melody, and Melodrama Thrilling them Hearken, ye mourning souls! Hearken!! To a ballad Of a young African-American A handsome man Who many moons ago Taught the world, the scintillating art Of Moon-walking! Oh, ye my wistful people, hearken! To a ballad Of the King - of Pop Who craved childhood Like never before So much so, that he lived With little boys in An amusement park! Of a King Who dreaded aging, That he slept in An Oxygen casket! Hearken, ye discontent people! Hearken!! To a ballad of a Blackman, Who detested his colour So much so, that he morphed to a hideous ‘white’ man Sacrificing his nose, and Humanity! Hearken, ye craving people! Hearken!! To a ballad of a ‘white’ Blackman An alleged child molester, Not humane enough, Even to the cancer stricken! A ballad of a middle-aged king Sad, hurting, withdrawn, and Drowning In a pool of debts, and bills! A ballad of frail king With failing health Who risked his life for a lifeline! A ballad of a man Who died trying to re-emerge! A ballad of Michael Jackson (RIP)[/b] |

Hearty round of applause from me, Emeka. That was quite good! Gripped me from start to finish by your slow unravelling of Michael's life. It started as I would have expected, in pure praise, and every so slowly broke into a harsh but realistic portrayal of the weird roller-coaster that was his life. Bravo! |
