Michael Jackson would not have crossed my mind if I hadn't opened the IE browser and read the astonishing news. Michael Jackson's time came, and when Michael left so did my youth. It seems that I had forgotten him as well as my youthful dreams.
When I heard of Michael Jackson's death it reminded me of painful memories from my childhood. And in that very moment, I remember the infatuation and passion towards Michael Jackson, his unique voice, dancing moves, and his music videos that showed me another world.
Only death can wash away the gossip, vilification and lies surrounding your life, like autumn rain. I always believed that you were a child-afraid of loneliness and longing for warmth, and you desperately wanted to be close to your children while pretending to by a child yourself at Neverland.
And only death can prove time and again that God will not let a genius stay on earth for too long; or let a man who was a head of his time stay too long on this Earth.
Now, head back to heaven!
The bells will be ringing and angels' will be chanting as you rise high-above as you move closer the golden gate will open slowly for you. And you will float majestically in the air as the blue sky embraces your every step. All the seraphim will dance with you on the moon. Finally, you will reach God devoutly. And in his arms, you can sleep soundly every night and you can dance and sing freely in every dream with no fear, no worry and no sadness leaving the world full of hostility, discrimination and deceit far behind.
