Micheal Joseph Jackson Memorial

It is now exactly 1pm; 12 hours after I had seen Micheal Joseph Jackson's Memorial on television. My older sis, dad and I stayed up from 1am to 3pm to watch it on CNN.
From the start when they brought in the golden casket of Micheal, till the end, when the reverand said his prayer, I was indeed moved by the whole service. Micheal Jackson didn't deserve this for what he went through.
He was framed of child molestation or framed of bleaching his skin, and backstabbed by Bashir. Yet, he still chose to love, and care for those who needed love. At least now, they would leave him alone.
I could still
Remember The Time when I first heard his song during kindergarten, I fell in love with it imedietly. Every week I would sing
Heal the World, and know the lyrics by heart. I immitated his famous dance moves like the moonwalk, or the 45 degree tilt, or thrillers and always got a good laugh from the people around me.
I will admit that I did believe the press when he had a court case. But I know the truth now and it is absolutely contrary to what they said. Guess it's true that you'll only appreciate a person when he is gone.
"Some may choose to recall Micheal Jackson at the end of his days- a seemingly broken and defeated man, scarred by plastic surgery and medication. But not us.. we choose instead to remember the immense talent, the wonderful humanitarian, the superb genius who was Micheal Joseph Jackson. We choose to remember the little boy who sang his
ABC's who grew up to be the man who gave us
thrillers- whose music touched and still touches all generations and all ages. We choose to remember the
man who looked
in the mirror and decided to change his ways and who set forth to
heal the world."
.
I love you Micheal Jackson, for impacting not only me, but the whole world as well. You broke the barriers of race, religion, and skin colour and brought us all together. There were no profounities in your lyrics, as you are always so soft-spoken and gentle, which I admire so much. Thank you Micheal Jackson because without you, there will be no Pop.
