    A TRIBUTE TO MICHEAL JACKSON

    Posted 7:55 am

    Friday morning, 5:00(am)

    June 26, 2009

    A Tribute To Micheal Jackson:

    Thursday Of yesterday, turned out to be a sad day,

    The world came together and witnessed, A living legend go away.

    Micheal brought a lot of love, and He entertained me,

    He was the greatest entertainer – that this world will ever see.

    I can imagine when God called him, God must have needed him there,

    To sing tenor in the choir – and entertain in dreams every where.

    The songs that Micheal sang – As I think, they’ll remain -

    To bring tears to my eyes, because they’ve healed a lot of pain.

    What really got my attention – Is how the media tried to destroy,

    The anointing that God had placed – on this anointed little boy.

    The world can never take away, but it can set out to hurt,

    And try to destroy the seed of God – before It catch root in the dirt.

    They crucified my Jesus, and made Micheal head drop,

    As they crowned him with accusations – then called him the king of pop.

    Micheal Jackson just may be dead, but his spirit will never be gone,

    He left a musical legacy – that will forever carry on.

    The departure of his body, I guess it’s the thought that will forever hurt,

    But remember the seeds God plant – He plant them deep down in the dirt.

    One day God will call our number, and our time will finally come,

    We’ll have to stand in the line of judgment, and give account for all we’ve done.

    Give account for all deceit, give account for all the lies,,

    Give account for all the times – we’ve committed adultery on our wives.

    We have to bear fruit, as we’ve read our Jesus say,

    One of the greatest fruit of all – Is love your enemy every day.

    The deeds that Micheal done – proves He was an anointed son,

    Of The One and Only Jesus – that’s soon yet to come.

    I can imagine the angels spirits, as Micheal arrived home on this day,

    They’re throwing a party up in Heaven, because Micheal’s finally home to stay.

    Now there’s no more worries, his credit line has reached perfection,

    And no more lawyers can hold their hands out – and expect any kind of collection.

    When God pay off your bills – yes in deed your bills are paid,

    You’ll have a greater award in Heaven – than on earth you could have ever made.

    The time you spent crying – wipe your eyes and realize,

    Micheal’s at the last supper – looking the deciples in their eyes.

    Micheal passed the heavens for all the “G’s – because 2 Pac and Biggies there,

    So we have to get our bids in – while there’s still some extra chairs.

    We mus just remember Michael for the many contributions that he has made for the music industry, and not the negative, Who are we to judge, his videos were movies, which were hard to tear your eyes from, so amazing. My God blessings and comfort be with his entire family and especially his children. Which is sad he has been gone a full day and now they are fighting over the children sad. Everyone think of what is good for the children and not your pockets.

    i’m with Ladyk1178, this is a time to remember him for the good he has done, i can’t stand people that try and judge people because there life is in the public, i’m sure if your life was public some people would have something to say, but who are we to judge.

    The media created a Messiah and then crucified him. “BLESSEDARE THE MEEK FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.” I am saddened at the passing of Michael Jackson, but at the same time I am overjoyed. I look upon Michael’s passing as a graduation, a move up in rank, a promotion. Michael done a fine job while here, and thus has been rewarded for his works. Death is not a bad thing, for we who remain in this world are the unlucky ones. Christ, himself suffered death, only to rise again. Michael will rise again, He had a relationship with our Lord and Saviour. He always gave Thanks and Praises to God. We cannot take heed to what we hear in the media, the negative. In short, look who is saying it. Someone who can never come close to the God given talents and accomplishments that Michael posessed. Jesus Loved the little children, as did Michael. In his studies during his Witness days, he learned that we are to love children. So sad that society see’s it different, therefore that is why we have the problems with our youth. We need to LOVE our children and let them know. Michael was a soul who intentions were good, but he was so misunderstood. At this moment, I bet he wears a jeweled crown !
