    I’m mourning….but I’m EXTREMELY pissed off…

    The american media DESTROYED this man. They completely assasinated his character…and for WHAT? They destroyed a man who never did anything but break his back to make everybody around the world happy. He was ALWAYS smiling, and he was always surrounded by a bunch of bulls**t…and for NO reason…

    I’m so upset by this I can’t even get my thoughts straight…

    All the media in this country ever did was try to demonize this man…trying to paint a false picture of a damn hild molestor…trying to paint a false picture of a weirdo who doesn’t even deserve to be around his own children…

    He tried to get away from the bulls**t the media was doing to him by leaving this pathetic, SORRY ASS COUNTRY, but they FOLLOWED him to try and soil him name overseas. America DESTROYED a man who was probably the ONLY real TRUE role model our youth really had. But they PRAISE clowns like Wayne, and 50 Cent, and Jay Z…these CORNBALLS who have lengthy rap sheets and represent everything F**KED UP about society for ALL races. They see a man who never did a damn thing to ANYBODY and they go out of their way to destroy this man.

    He was broken down to ONLY having his children to fall back on. That’s not a bad thing, but NO MAN should have to live the life with NO friends, no TRUE family support, and just NO ONE around in your real times of need. I know how that feels more than you will ever know.

    I don’t care what the autopsy says…Mike didn’t die of drugs, cardiac arrest, or ANYTHING…Mike died of a broken heart. I know how he felt. There’s no cure for that. You are basically the walking dead…cardiac arrest just put him out of his misery.

    In essence, cardiac arrest was probably the only truly merciful thing in his life. I feel such a huge lump of sorrow for this man because I know how his heart felt. To have your friends turn their backs on you…ON CAMERA…in your times of need…your family members s**t on you, people only coming around you when they need something, and even NOW…the media is trying to drag his name down and even putting out there something about the kids not being his….WHY??

    I wish i could say Rest in Peace…but my heart will never believe that he ever can after what America did to him…

    IWalkAlone247 – YOU my friend hit the nail right on. THANK you for making your post true and for real. I was going to write a similar post, after reading yours, absolutely no need. WELL WRITTEN!.. RIP MICHAEL…

    I agree with much of what is being said in these posts. Mike is finally at peace now, for real. He couldn’t find it here on earth least now he find it in heaven. I never thought for one second that he did all that he was accused of doing. All of us have made poor choices in life that we believed to be right, or true or okay in some way. He did and carried himself to best of his ability through some horrific, and also very embarrasing times of his life. It’s very sad how others can laugh at the expense of someone else’s misery or pain. I’ve never been able to understand that!?! Hopefully we all can learn something from this and become inspired to remain strong regardless, throught out our own lives and any future endeavors! God bless us all!

    @Iwalkalone247, very well said. you probably speak for a large majority of Michael fans. He was a wonderful, selfless, giving humanitiarian. What did he ever get in return. Lonliness and unhappiness. My heart mourns this tragic loss, I just pray that my brother is at peace now.

    A Tribute To Micheal Jackson:

    Thursday Of yesterday, turned out to be a sad day,

    The world came together and witnessed, A living legend go away.

    Micheal brought a lot of love, and He entertained me,

    He was the greatest entertainer – that this world will ever see.

    I can imagine when God called him, God must have needed him there,

    To sing tenor in the choir – and entertain in dreams every where.

    The songs that Micheal sang – As I think, they’ll remain -

    To bring tears to my eyes, because they’ve healed a lot of pain.

    What really got my attention – Is how the media tried to destroy,

    The anointing that God had placed – on this anointed little boy.

    The world can never take away, but it can set out to hurt,

    And try to destroy the seed of God – before It catch root in the dirt.

    They crucified my Jesus, and made Micheal head drop,

    As they crowned him with accusations – then called him the king of pop.

    Micheal Jackson just may be dead, but his spirit will never be gone,

    He left a musical legacy – that will forever carry on.

    The departure of his body, I guess it’s the thought that will forever hurt,

    But remember the seeds God plant – He plant them deep down in the dirt.

    One day God will call our number, and our time will finally come,

    We’ll have to stand in the line of judgment, and give account for all we’ve done.

    Give account for all deceit, give account for all the lies,,

    Give account for all the times – we’ve committed adultery on our wives.

    We have to bear fruit, as we’ve read our Jesus say,

    One of the greatest fruit of all – Is love your enemy every day.

    The deeds that Micheal done – proves He was an anointed son,

    Of The One and Only Jesus – that’s soon yet to come.

    I can imagine the angels spirits, as Micheal arrived home on this day,

    They’re throwing a party up in Heaven, because Micheal’s finally home to stay.

    Now there’s no more worries, his credit line has reached perfection,

    And no more lawyers can hold their hands out – and expect any kind of collection.

    When God pay off your bills – yes in deed your bills are paid,

    You’ll have a greater award in Heaven – than on earth you could have ever made.

    The time you spent crying – wipe your eyes and realize,

    Micheal’s at the last supper – looking the deciples in their eyes.

    Micheal passed the heavens for all the “G’s – because 2 Pac and Biggies there,

    So we have to get our bids in – while there’s still some extra chairs.
