The lyrics of Michael Jackson depicts his life in so many ways. I just don’t see a phenomenal entertainer; but I see a person with so much love for humanity, a person who wanted to be loved in return, not just for his music, but for the goodness of his heart.
In Michael Jackson song/video, “WILL YOU BE THERE”, say it all.

Another Life

Written by: Zerina Phillip©2008

I watch them cry for me
I try to touch them but couldn’t
If I can get back into my body
Just for a while to let them know
It’s ok on the other side
Please hush my love,
My dear sons and daughter
My best friend
I am here with you
Can you feel my presence?
Look at me so peacefully asleep
My work is finish in this world.

The photos are from my "Right On" magazine Collection 1976.

    Glad you saved it. This is the way I like to remember that sweet boy. His adult life was so tempestuous. I always felt so sorry for him.

    Love the poetry... Michael Jackson was a very talented entertainer with a big heart...Unfortunately, he wasn't destined to have a long life but he will be remembered for the goals and the gains he accomplished in the short time he lived on this earth. My vote!
