People with heart know no bounds.
They believe in faith, love, compassion, equality
And plenty more. Their kindness
Is unique and wonderful.

People like this are not common
Most of them come once in a millennium
They are the essential idea of what human beings should be
They are what we as a species strive to be

We have been fortunate to have a few walk among us
People with truly pure hearts
And done more than they needed
Very few, especially one angel

One angel lost very recently
One angel who gave more than he ever needed to
This angel was well-known
But not for all he gave

This angel was well-known for his talent
His heart often over-looked
He poured what he could into his music
And expressed importance to major things

His messages were strong
And while many listened…
Many did not listen as well
Despite his efforts to get them to.

All this overlooked by corruption
Over-looked by lies
And hate
Overlooked by society as a whole

Thrown into a class with a bad name.
Falsely accused and jailed
And for what?
Money? Pride? Cruelty? Jealousy?

Many things…
People working hard to bring this angel down
Bad people…
That angel fought them off his entire time here

He was kicked down
And he got back up
Still helping
Still caring

All of this for a price
Permanent damage done
A bad title still about him
A sick, false lie

Pained by this bad reputation
Torn by such injustice
He barely held it together
What kept him going?

Love... Love is what kept him going
Love from family
Love from friends
Love from fans

Love is important
He expressed this often
In words... In rhymes
Wherever the angel could

The angel was confident truth would prevail
Confident people would listen.
And most do…
The truth is obvious in our angel's eyes… Will you listen to him? Can you hear him cry?

Hello everyone! :) I know this was bit more on the depressing side. Weird after that break from them, huh?

Well, see it was like this. One day at school, I just started writing. And I had this idea in my mind to talk about people with heart. I had meant for it to be a nice, light poem about that kind of thing but... as I continued to write, it turned into this. I guess I was subconsciously thinking about how unfair these people are usually treated and that includes Michael. So I wrote this.

I made the preview picture for this. I've been really into photomanipulation lately. I'm not sure why... it's just really fun. :D I like being able to take a picture and edit it how I like. In fact, I'm thinking of uploading my two other photomanipulations. We'll see.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the poem. I did my best on it. I'm trying to balance between photo-editing and poems. Hehe my two loves! Much love to you all! :D :heart:

DISCLAIMER: This poem includes a preview picture of Michael Jackson. I own none of the photography, it all belongs to the rightful photographers. I only combined these pictures together. Thank you.
