It's a great lost of talent, too bad he never got to make his tour. But in the U.S, there are mixed feelings from people, I have heard more than twice today that people are surprised that he lived for as long as he did. For a person as famous and as wealthy as he was, he didn't have an easy life.
I wrote this a few years ago about people who stand out in society.
Jesus was a hoody.
He grew his hair to long,
Talked to a bunch of looser,
He caused political alarm,
Should have had an ASBO,
For breach of the peace,
A threat to the system,
With his choice of speech.
Through out our history some people stand out for being different.
They challenge issues in art culture music and politics,
Hey are the ones that leave a legacy to the world that will be remembered. Not the people who hound them. Through there own issues and failing and in some cases jealousy and greed.
Quite often after these outstanding people have gone they are praised and given tributes by the very people who have hounded them through there lives. As you look in the sun and see the mirror.
As you look at the lawyers in America chasing there 15 minutes of fame, and trying to get a cut in the financial world of Michael Jackson.
We all have failing and weaknessesâ??.
It is easy to be picked on when you are high profile and in the public eye,
It sells papers and news space on T.V. and the attackers possibly have more to hide than the person being attacked.
Michael Jackson the ledged begins, Rest in peace, let the music live on
