the legendary king of pop; michael jackson.

i never knew you, michael jackson, but yet i feel the lost following your sudden death.

utterly lost for words and the heavy feeling of sadness shoots through me now and then whenever im reading about your news and listening to your music. your greatness is reflected everywhere, be it seen or heard. your name rings a bell in everyone's head.

here i am, suddenly caught up about wanting to know and understand more about you. searching for news and scrambling to listen in to your greatest hits. i may never have paid much attention to you but really and truly, i was oblivious. for i did not realise that songs that i loved and felt so much about were songs by you. that soothing voice that helped inspired me and spin my emotions round and round in my life was you.

you were a legend in many different ways. you were an example of a great artist. the life you had under the media wasnt an easy one and though no one will truly know the real you or what really when on in your life, i believe that yes, you were really an ordinary man who had ordinary great dreams and who wanted to make a change. you were like anyone else, just that you took a great step forward and became a representative figure of the world. yet, everyone knows that life isnt fair and the ups and downs came. you are only human and with the stress and the pushing, no one can or should at all blame you for loosing grip.

if only things were simple, perhaps you would have led a truly happy life and show the world your capabilities of the wonderful father you were. i dont know you michael but i believe that whatever you may have done, right or wrong, you had a great angelic side because it reflects in your music. you gave music that had deep felt meanings and were inspirational. you brought music that brought about change and messages that connected the world. i am so proud of you.

well for as long as i live, michael jackson, you would always be the legendary king of pop in my era. like how my parents prolly felt for elvis presley. when my kids look back in time to come, they may not know or understand your sound but i know i would.

i really do admire your strength, courage and talent for creating such an impact in the world. now really, who can forget that 'moonwalk' you left the world screaming for?

xoxo to you MJ
