The Magic of Michael Jackson

The Magic of Michael Jackson comes alive again through the words of poets who wanted the world to see what they thought of the man. These poets are extremely versatile and well known writers of this era. They came to call, from all over the world, when Patricia Ann Farnsworth - Simpson asked for tribute poems for Michael Jackson when it was heard that Michael had died.

The caring natures of the poets involved took action. Poems were written about Michael Jackson's impact on the world by writer from one end of the globe to the other.
 
The love for Michael's singing, dancing, general entertainment value and his humanitarian gestures are all well stated throughout the book. Also, Michael's past and problems in life are shown in poetic words.
 
A book was released the day of Michael Jackson's Memorial Service. Now, how can one possibly get a book into publication on such short notice? I guess it was by sheer determination, of course. This is quite an accomplishment for Patricia Ann, a woman who put in countless hours into this project.
 
I know for fact that the book was sent to the Jackson family in hopes that it would be comforting to them. Michael's fan-club was appreciative. They displayed the book with respect.  The fans of Michael were told to watch he video that went along as promotion for the book. It was watched because picture of Michael Jackson were used to highlight his career.
 
Who can dispute the man's career? It was successful in so many ways. It brought cultures together. It brought music lovers to adore a man who danced and sang. He gave us a legend that brought music videos into a new perspective for all.
 
Not everyone loved his lifestyle. I defend him because not all of us had to grow up in the limelight. We did not all have a father that is described my Michael in some bad light.

We cannot judge a man's life. We do not have that right. We can ask questions to why his world became so misunderstood. We can try to influence the legal system to inquire and take action against those who obliged a man who was desperate for peace of mind. I hope Michael Jackson's death as not in vain. Many need to debate why so many music and Hollywood icons die so young.
