PROPHETIC SCREAM

a child star—a cosmic gift

left ensnared by celebrity’s kiss

a prophetic scream

a scream of hope and rage

dancing in ecstasy on the stage

brother michael gone far too soon

our world misses his passion, his genius, his croon

tortured by bigotry—scarred so deep

his life inspires while his body sleeps

a soul immortal—blessed with divine energy

the king of pop so infused with creativity

we live, we love, we strive, we die

MJ’s genius will forever be alive

remember his scream—prophetic, primal, and fierce

remember michael the rebel, the brother, the seer
