Rest in Peace Michael Jackson
The late King of Pop Michael Jackson
Owned a ranch where he went for relaxin’
Many Grammys he won
He had surgeries done
So he’d look like a white Anglo-Saxon
It was rumored that Mike was abused
By his father, and often was bruised
By this parent from hell
If he didn’t sing well
And it left him in tears and confused
Michael somehow survived the disdain
From his Dad, who was likely insane
Turning sadness and stress
In to wealth and success
But he carried some permanent pain
He recorded an album called ‘Thriller’
With a lot of great tunes and no filler
He invented a walk
He performed quite a lot
Like The Beatles and Queen and Steve Miller
He was married to Lisa Marie
But their happiness wasn’t to be
She looked hot in a thong
But they didn’t last long
And were issued a final decree
Later on there was much tribulation
And also a false accusation
That he fought and denied
But it damaged his pride
In a trial that caused a sensation
Michael went on the lam for a while
But was planning a comeback in style
When he suddenly passed
Now he’s peaceful at last
But his music still earns him a pile
So we say ‘Rest in Peace’ to a guy
Who was known from L.A. to Mumbai
‘Til he faded from sight
Like a dream in the night
And we told him a final good-bye
