Who Was It? (R.I.P Micheal Jackson) Poem by Daniel Richards

Who Was It?

He gave us music,
He gave us life
He gave us everything
Inside his heart could find
He shared his passion
His very soul
He loved all wholly
And told us so

We thought he’d be forever
A life we lived as one
He made our wows
Every time he moved.
He lived a life in secret
It’s what we made him do
We said we loved him
Betrayed him with words told untrue
Tell me what would you do?

But it doesn’t seem to matter
And it’s definitely not alright
Cos’ our will of deceit brought
Him too his knees
Willed him to cry alone at night
We judged his flawless composure
Said he’s lying to himself
The reason why he’s gone
We can all find a piece inside ourselves

Who was it?
Its was a friend of mine
Who was it?
Us and every other
Who was it?
That hurt his soul
Who was it?
It was us that pushed him so far

I felt he was damned
He was the dead,
We caused the agony inside
His dying head
Through his injustice
The woe we gave to him
He prayed the punishment we gave
Would have mercy on him


We thought he’d be forever
A life we lived as one
He made our wows
Every time he moved.
Its seems to me that he left us
For the reasons just explained
We need to find the truth
But when it lies inside what will we do

But it doesn’t seem to matter
And its definitely not alright
Cos’ our will of deceit brought
Him too his knees
Willed him to cry alone at night
We judged his flawless composure
Whilst we bothered him everyday
He still tried to be even better
But the pain caught up and god took him away

Who was it
Its was a friend of mine
Who was it?
Us and every other
Who was it?
That hurt his soul
Who was it?
It was us that pushed him so far
He couldn’t take it Cos we had made him lonely

Who was it
Its was a friend of mine
Who was it?
Us and every other
Who was it?
That hurt his soul
Who was it?
It was us that pushed him so far
He couldn’t take it Cos we had made him lonely

But it doesn’t seem to matter
And its definitely not alright
Cos’ our will of deceit brought
Him too his knees
Willed him to cry alone at night
We judged his flawless composure
Whilst we bothered him everyday
He still tried to be even better
But the pain caught up and god took him away

But it doesn’t seem to matter
And its definitely not alright
Cos’ our will of deceit brought
Him too his knees
Willed him to cry alone at night
We judged his flawless composure
Said he’s lying to himself
The reason why he’s gone
We can all find a piece inside ourselves

Who was it?
Who made it so rough?
Who was it?
It was us
Who was it?
That pushed him to his grave
The answer is as simple as the day
Who was it?
IT WAS US
