A tribute poem in honour of the King of Pop as the world marks the one year anniversary of his transition to eternal glory. Michael Jackson, unarguably, remains the best entertainer the World has ever seen – living or dead.

Without A Night Vigil By The Paparazzi; Without the Klieg lights
Only A Baby’s First Song For Love And Healing
An Unfamiliar tiny Little Cry Unstirring An Unfamiliar World
The World Is Awakened by the little dwarf in the 5
After Only 1,465 Days And Nights
The Sweet Little Voice Is The Charm;
The Dancing Is The Magic.
