Last Day.- 8 Michael Jackson


from the ABC set LAST DAYS

LAST DAY
MICHAEL JACKSON

SUMMER DAYS

FADING AWAY

WHILE HE TRIES

TO FORGET LIES,

RANCOR OLD

AND DAYS OF GOLD.

THE PRESENT SPEAKS

OF FLAWS AND LEAKS.

THIS SOLITUDE,

BAD ATTITUDES,

AND ALL THE MESS

THAT BRINGS DISTRESS.

IT'S ALL HIS LIFE

STRUGGLE, STRIFE.

WHERE ARE THE FRIENDS?

THE LOVERS? BLEND

OF FEELINGS GONE.

THE DOINGS...WRONG.

AMONG THE BLIGHT,

LIKE GLOWING LIGHT,

HIS CHILDREN STAND.

YES ! HAND IN HAND.

HE CAN NOT HIDE

HIS JOY AND PRIDE,

AND WITH A SMILE

HE STOPS A WHILE

ALL THIS DARK THOUGHTS,

OF LACKS AND NAUGHTS.

WHAT HAS BEEN LEFT

AFTER THE THEFT

OF ALL HIS PRIDE?

LEAVING ASIDE

SOME CHILDISH RANTS,

SOME FORLORN WANTS...

HE SIGHS AND DREADS

A FINAL STEP...

WHEN HE FALLS DOWN,

(THE CURTAIN DRAWN)

LAST BREATHES RELIEVE

ALL HIS BELIEFS...

HE GOES HIS WAY...

NOTHING TO SAY,

FOR NOW HE'S BLIND

TO FEARS BEHIND.

Raw,simple,different are 3 words to describe this. I only clicked this because MJ is someone I grew up with and got much influence from him. I'll be checking you're work a lot more from now on.

True, a man who was ripped of everything on the basis of some accusations which were aqcuitted.
