Kings, Queens, and Presidents have passed

But the world just ignored

The King of Pop has lapsed

And all of humanity comes to a halt

I once told my mother at five

That I will die the day you expire

Please forgive my lack of courage

For I am now a father of two

No matter what misguided kids may say

Toddlers of today still adore the king

No matter the lawsuits and finances

Every successful mountain must peak

I can’t join you in death

But I owe you lots of debt

The only way to repay your services

Is to make sure my kids are the best

Sleep well your highness!!!!

Thanks for fifty achieving years

And may you entertain our Lord
