Michael Jackson on Michael Jackson
Details from Michael Jackson's patent on the choreography of "Smooth Criminal"
In his own eyes, Michael Jackson wrote poems. Here's a stanza from one, in which he talks about how the world sees him. Unwittingly, it's as if he sent a eulogy to himself:
from "Poems by Michael Jackson"
... Soothsayers came and fortunes were told
Some were vehement, others were bold
In denouncing this child, this perplexing creature
With the rest of the world he shared no feature
IS he real? HE is so strange
His unpredictable nature knows no range
He puzzles us so, is he straight?
What's his destiny? What's his fate? ...

The story of Michael's patent is an intriguing one. Three years after it was issued, a major aerospace giant would reference it in support of another patent, critical to jet fighter operations.

"What is his destiny? What is his fate?"
That's what we all wanted to know.
He wrote some lines and sang some tunes
lnvented walking on the moon
For folks who couldn't travel space
His great unfinished work?
His face.
