Description
My first attempt at painting. Inspired by one of my favourite songs by Michael Jackson, this is nearly the image that I've had in mind for years listening to it.''Little Susie''
Somebody killed little Susie
The girl with the tune
Who sings in the daytime at noon
She was there screaming
Beating her voice in her doom
But nobody came to her soon...
A fall down the stairs
Her dress torn
Oh the blood in her hair...
A mystery so sullen in air
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care,
Oh the blood in her hair...
Everyone came to see
The girl that now is dead
So blind stare the eyes in her head...
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
This girl lived in vain
Her face bear such agony, such strain...
But only the man from next door
Knew Little Susie and how he cried
As he reached down
To close Susie's eyes...
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
Oh the blood in her hair...
It was all for God's sake
For her singing the tune
For someone to feel her despair
To be damned to know hoping is dead and you're doomed
Then to scream out
And nobody's there...
She knew no one cared...
Father left home, poor mother died
Leaving Susie alone
Grandfather's soul too had flown...
No one to care
Just to love her
How much can one bear
Rejecting the needs in her prayers...
Neglection can kill
Like a knife in your soul
Oh it will
Little Susie fought so hard to live...
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
So young and so fair

Other than being written as a tragic song of a little girl who's life was taken from her by an unrepentant monster, I also wonder if it also symbolizes the very thing that was taken from Michael Jackson that he could never regain, and that was his childhood. He lost his childhood by being put through a hard working music career with both parents messing up their children terribly up to adulthood. Susie had her life taken in the worst way, which should have been horrible enough for anyone to see that child abuse and neglect are not to be taken less seriously and should never turn a blind eye to.

This is simply beautiful. Captures the song perfectly, I think.
Little Susie is also my favorite song by Michael. I think it's one of the most beautiful, haunting songs he's ever done. Only he could write something like that.

No problem, in a way it's also kind of similar to Lemony Snicket.
