A Poem by Sirius King

RIP

"


Whitney Houston

A new angel sings

Vocal chords blessed by the Gods

A diva with wings         

 

Michael Jackson

Man in the mirror

Leaving blood on the dance floor

Musical thriller

 

2Pac

Brilliance embodied

Lived and died for a purpose

Killuminati

 

Lisa “Lefteye” Lopez

Young girl breaking rules

Tender Loving Care’s rare jewel

Crazy Sexy Cool

 

Aaliyah

More than a woman

Her beauty's worth a billion

One in a million

 

Biggie Smalls

Teller of stories

Notorious B.I.G.

May he R.I.P.

 

Bob Marley

Lion of Zion

Singing a redemption song

Ending Babylon

 

Marvin Gaye

Sexual healing

I heard it through the grapevine

That’s what’s going on

 

Donny Hathaway

Giving the soul…food

Giving up is hard to do

This song is for you

 

Ray Charles

I got a woman

Even a blind man could see

I’m a fool for you

 

Jimi Hendrix

Flaming guitar, loud

Magic of a voodoo child

Purple haze, smoke clouds


Sam Cooke

You can believe him

A certified soul stirrer

A change is gone come

 

James Brown

Before soul sold-out

The godfather sang out loud

I’m black and I’m proud!

 

Curtis Mayfield

People get ready

Pusherman is giving you

Something you can feel


 

Ella Fitzgerald

Scats so sweet, skill strong

Ella’s voice could do no wrong

First lady of song

 

Nina Simone

Feeling good?…that’s fine

Yes, I put a spell on you

Because you are mine

 

Billie Holiday

In what I partake

It aint nobody’s business

Good morning heartache

This is a great idea, I love it! I have an old poem somewhere I wrote about Jimi Hendrix that I should post but I like this one by you a lot better. You say so much in so few words and this is a great tribute.

We lost a lot of good people. Music seem weaker. Maybe I'm getting older. New songs don't have the energy and spirit. Thank you for remembering the people I won't forget. Thank you for the excellent poem.
