King of kings and most beloved star Pop, <br />We lost forever a man in you and high hope, <br />It was not easy for black to walk on rope, <br />You lost no courage and preferred slope, <br /> <br />For rising high, you paid so dearly, <br />Whites were fooled so cleverly, <br />Rose to the top at an early age, <br />Bonded music free from closed cage, <br /> <br />Transformation from black to complete white, <br />Hard work from morning day till late night, <br />Nothing was coming to you by way of right, <br />You chose to face and offered a fight, <br /> <br />Daily shows with improvement in music, <br />Money returns plenty but killed magic, <br />Fighting with odds and struggle heroic, <br />Fame, prestige, name all proved toxic, <br /> <br />Hours and hours you danced on floor, <br />Ships aground and never reached shore, <br />Fame and money blinded with rage, <br />Global name with golden ink on page, <br /> <br />World and humanity benefited a lot, <br />Always in limelight and news spot, <br />Surrounded by celebrities and rich, <br />Going away and away from Poor’s reach, <br /> <br />Your body could stand no more strain, <br />It was not less than slain, <br />World did not bother and only blamed, <br />Door shut and avenues slammed, <br /> <br />You remained only body of corpse, <br />Skin disappeared with body collapse, <br />No food but drugs and only injections, <br />You lay on bed without any projection, <br /> <br />World may remember you as global artist, <br />Laying wreath and floral tribute insist, <br />Still it is mystery and doubts persist, <br />World at large must fear and desist, <br /> <br />His soul will hound us for time to come, <br />It is for sure no other soul will descend and become, <br />Earnestly pray for his soul to rest in peace, <br />Let him sing his songs and enjoy at ease<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tragic-end/
