It was only a year ago that Janet Jackson spoke those immortal words on the stage about her brother Michael dressed in his favorite color white.As I watch the news today as people honor his late memory it just puzzles me that all people are concerned with is the fact that this man is still making money even though he is gone and the amount of money he has grossed.What I think people right now should be thinking is that a family has lost a child today,a funny little brother,a wise older brother,a devoted son and a loving and sweet father.
Everyone talks about his music and how "this" move is their favorite and "this" song is their favorite but being of the age that I am.I did not get to witness the Victory tour but got to see how quickly public worship could change to media assassination before my very eyes.Vegas gives MJ a star on the Walk of Fame yet only a few years ago he was banned from the fair "Sin City".My, how fickle is this world.All I keep asking is why did you have to love him in death, why couldn't you love him when he was still here.Was it because it was only a few years ago you wouldn't even help let alone stand next to him?
I think of MJ and his life in the spotlight in the context of a child with a toy.When MJ was lil' Michael, he was a brand new toy.You always wanted to play with it,had time for it and devotion.My Michael became Michael Jackson,he was your favorite something you could always go back to but once the toy wasn't as shiny then it wasn't fun anymore,it seems like he didn't have the latest technology for your liking or dazzle you anymore.But once someone else was playing with it(ie Overseas)now you want it back.I think if MJ was here today and so all the love people have for him he would be amazed and sadden.Sad because where have you've been when I needed you? This is a man who didn't want to be alone and died alone in that house,Where was his Yoko? that female person to flourish him as a artist? Michael this script is done and I will make sure that your name will be engraved into their cerebrum for all time whether they like it or not.I will show the world who you truly are and not what they expected.
