This morning when a friend smsed me that "Micheal Jackson had died", I did not know how to respond. I know that he had planned a tour of comeback in July in London. I was looking forward to it. Man proposes, God disposes, they say.
Now he has returned Home. The human part of me was sad. He had a great impact on me - more than any politician or religious cleric ever could. His life itself was a major message. His songs and dance were powerful reminders of many things, if you "see" beyond the "pop" culture. I do not know what I could write at this moment as there are so many things flying in my mind, all at the same time.
I just wrote about him on 1st June - some 25 days ago. I have been thinking of him for the past two days. I was going to write about him over the weekend, but never thought this is what I will be writing.
His Early days: - One day in your life
The Transformed Micheal: - I will remember the times you shed light in my life, Mikey
Mikey, you are right - at Home, it doesn't matter if your are Black or White. Why should it matter now? I wish we can remember you by understanding this song.
Mikey, have a pleasant journey Home.
Peace !
I'm having my panic attacked yesterday morning once I saw the headline in yahoo. You are the 1st person I could think of at that time n I was hoping you sms me back and telling me 'naaahh...it just rumor la Sara...' instead of 'confirm'
ReplyDeleteMany of us just talked bout him, excited bout his upcoming tour...and in a blink of an eye...he is gone.
MJ truly a 'magic' ... and I'll always love him.
Rest in peace ...
