Unregistered	"The Gloved One... A Loved One" You still bad. The whole world is mourning you, Like you were ALL we had. Yeah, the music died yesterday, And was resurrected by memories That you gave. The 60's, 70's, 80's.... New millennium, infinity. The Blueprint for music videos - You authored. A pied piper of music for many generations, You got my grannie through, pulled my mama through, Me through... And now my six year old is rockin' with you too. You taught us that being black AND eclectic was a perfect match. Struggle with a class act - Mmmmm... you authored that too. A lil' man wearin' James Brown's shoes ABC'in and tweet, tweet, tweetin'. Out of the J-Five, YOU were all the way live! The super fro, the jheri curl, The uncurled curl, and those Sequinned suits.... And yes... The Moonwalk And The Glove. Now try to trademark or copyright that! We devoured it all Mike. So, am I selfish when I say 50 years was not enough? Sh.t, 30+ years (my time) Of being in a Michael Joseph Jackson Musically induced coma WILL make you stop thinking Outside yourself... Especially when it was just US... and YOUR RHYTHM, ... and now you're at peace. Copyright 2009 C. Thomas a.k.a. brownsugatou

Unregistered	Gloved One, Loved One (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! Michael, Nat King Cole was a merry ole soul as he sat perched up against mama's old wooden phonograph next to Billie Holiday, Roberta Flack and the Jackson's Destiny album, Lord have mercy you all looked so mature, sexy and handsome! I am old school and I remember coming home from school putting on your album, These were the days before CD's, MP3 players, and IPODS, Goodness, listening to your music was heaven sent directly from God. Ooh wee, or should I say 'hee hee hee' about that pulsating falsetto, That reached every country, mansion, island, barrio, prison, hut and every ghetto! You were a great admirer of the legendary James Brown, It warmed my heart to see you at an award show holding his crown. You ruled the 80's with a glittering iron glove, Moon walking into the hearts of millions Moving as gracefully and as freely as a dove. Newborns coming into the world already know your name, Ailing grandparents in their last days know the same. You are Gary¹s finest but the world dubbed you the 'Gloved One' Michael, your legacy is HIStory, DESTINY, OFF THE WALL, INVINCIBLE, BAD and most definitely a THRILLER. You are the King of Pop the 'Man In The Mirror!' You 'rocked our world' for over 40 years. You gave us such memorable songs as Who¹s Lovin You, Gotta Be There, Heart Break Hotel, Butterflies, PYT, Billie Jean, Earth Song, Can You Feel It, Working Day And Night, The Girl Is Mine, Say, Say, Say, and we 'Remember The Time' you told us that 'We Are The World'and to 'Ease on Down The Road.' You sold out football field stadiums and integrated MTV music videos! Back in the day we wore your buttons and donned white socks and penny loafers, Now here we stand today in shock and sadness but we know your pain is over. Michael, we miss you and though you said 'Heaven Can Wait', 'You Are Not Alone', and "I Can't Help It, "Human Nature" is the reason that 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You'. You were a great humanitarian a sensitive human being, Who came to earth and completed your journey now you can have eternal rest, The world loves you 'Gloved One¹ but the Lord truly knows best. We 'Never Can Say Goodbye' to you 'Lovely One.' WE LOVE YOU, MJ.
