    Gloved One, Loved One by Chitownpoet69 (For Michael Joseph Jackson)

    My heart is heavy, as I watch news footage of you
    gliding across the stage and gyrating your pelvis,
    At this moment in time this is bigger than the Duke,
    man, this is bigger than Elvis!
    Though you made your living with words, today there
    are no words to express the way the world feels,
    Right now there is no need to go into your discography
    because it encompasses valleys and hills.
    But where do I begin, should I start with your amazing
    solo career or should I start with the Jackson 5,
    When you were just a cute little boy,
    On stage you were talented and outgoing,
    Yet off stage you were introspective and coy,
    In the 70's, you put the world into a trance
    with your 'fro and bell bottomed jeans as you did the robot,
    Michael, you had everyone at your feet because when
    you danced and sang you gave all that you got!
    Nat King Cole was a merry ole soul as he sat perched
    up against mama's old wooden phonograph

    sorrow can leave you spending in a frame
    with so much gulit and pain
    sorrow was taken as a game
    but it's so much more than and emotion
    it's a pain
    love brings sorrow in the game
    it's like a pain calling your name
    sometimes that come and never goes away
    sorrow is based on a fear
    sorrow is a secret you hold near
    sorrow can hurt based on if it's a fear
    but thats basically why sorrow found you here
