Michael Jackson, Neverland Ranch Sale

[KBG29]

It has been coming for a long time, but now that we are getting right down to the end I have to say a few words. First and formost I want to make sure everyone knows that I am a huge Michael Jackson fan. I love all of his work from the days with the Jackson 5, to his most current album Invincible. However, it has not always been this way. I was born in 1988, and did not start becoming really interested in anything outside of country music tell about 1998. I had been stuck in a very dull world and my only view of Michael Jackson was the image that the people around me put in my head. That is until I walked in to Incerdible Univers at the Super Mall in Auburn, Washington in the summer of 1999. A few minutes after entering I heard this beat and lyrics. bum, bum,,,,,,bum, bum,,,,,bum, bum,,,,bum,bum, Ah she was more like a beauty queen fromamovie scence,,, I said don't mind, but whata doya meeean I am the one. For the first time in my life I had actually heard a Michael Jackson song. So I ask my dad, who is this on the radio, and he said thats  Michael Jackson, and I replied "that guy everyones says is freak", and my Father came back with a firm "yes". After this moment I decided it was time to find out little more about that man everyone had showed such hatred for, during my life.

What I found has brought me some of the best entertainment of my life. After learning more about Michael than just the tabloid garbage that has taken advantage of some of his real problems. I found someone that is not only a very gifted and talented, Singer, Song writer, Dancer, and performer, but also one of the greatest humanitarians of our time. Michael Jackson is a staple of what America stands for. He came from a normal family, and earned his way to becoming the most popular human being ever to walk on the planet. He lived the Amercican dream, and not only did he live it, he gave it to others. Michael did not keep his millions of dollars to himself, he spent it on allowing others to have a good time. This is sadley what has enevatably lead use to the hear and now. 

Michael has for the most part been able to live his whole life without having to grow up. In reality we all have childerns hearts, but not eveyone is lucky enough to enjoy it, do to work needing to be done to survive.  With no real constraints in his life Michael has been able to avoid the battle to survive, and lived life without having to put on a show. Michael Jackson is exactly what you see. A talented, caring, and loving indiviual. People, especially in America seem to have a huge problem with that. For years the mainstream American public has done nothing but attack him. So Michael went to the only people that did not care, the people we all truly are, children. They do not care if he is black or white, or weather his (nose, chin, cheeks, jaw, eyes, mouth, forehead, ect.) has had plastic suegry. All children care about, is fun, imagination, advernture, risk, reward, and comfort. In a world were adults have nothing better to do than attack you, what else was Michael left with. 

Sadly now we are upon the brink giving one of the greatest people ever to call themselves an American the boot, because we are to caught up in aesthetic  crap to see true beauty.  I know there is nothing I can do to help Michael now, but I hope that this will make people think a little bit.  What does it matter what race someone is, or weather they have taken sterdoids, or they have had plastic suegry, or if they act differant than what is precived as normal. Their are many more important things to worrie about in life, but if judging others must be done, judge them by what they offer to you, peoples private buisness should be just that, and before you going judging others try starting with the man in the mirror.
