Rest In Peace

Rest In Peace

A Poem by Marlena
"

Something for Farrah Faucet and Michael Jackson- RIP.

"

Dance with freedom, love

dance for the dead

dance because their faces are burned in your head


live in their memory

pray for their souls


innocent and beautiful

you left us today

but don't be afraid

there's a light that'll show you the way.


Simply put, you were misunderstood

and for your lifestyle

people won't respect you as they should

but you're an icon

a king

just dance across the stage up there

and sing, baby, sing.

Author's Note

Marlena
Written in memory of Farrah Faucet (not sure if I spelled her name right) and Michael Jackson. Both of them died today, and it seems only right to respect them and honor them just like any other human being. I know a lot of people LOVED Farrah, and Michael too, but I know a lot of people are going to disrespect him too.
Honestly, just put that "pedophile" title away, and show some respect already. Only a few hours and I'm already tired of people saying "good riddance". He was a human being too, guys.
Either way, I loved his music all the same, and Farrah was beautiful- RIP guys. (also, the third stanza is for Farrah, last is Michael, and please excuse grammar mistakes right now, I'll be fixing this up tomorrow.)

This is a wonderful dedication to the memory of two historical icons. Two more closures of an area. Yes, they should be given the equal respect that others receive.

Beautifully written. It's about time someone showed Michael Jackson the respect he deserves as a performer. The world lost two great talents on Thursday, and you've paid a great tribute to them both.

RIP Farrah and Michael.
Great poem!

A beautiful poem here, and I didn't catch any mistakes. I too have heard some awful things said and I believe people should always respect the dead. But I've learned to push the negativity aside and it's poetry like this that can help to enforce that. Good read
