Death indeed trumped Michael Jackson's fate!

Michael Jackson was the living embodiment of identity crises.
He turned his back and struggled with his own blackness.
The troubled soul surpassed his talent, and as time went by, he got whiter and weirder.
He was nicknamed Jacko Wacko. But now that he is dead, he became the must wonderful human being dat ever lived in the face of earth.
Around the African American community, the sentiment seemed to be that Jackson lived at the poles of black pride and insecurity.
It was said at several beauty salons, and barbershops around the city yesterday… “We always get compliments for aging well."
He claimed to have a skin condition called vitiligo.
Although, his face itself told the story of a torn soul.
He underwent to a series of plastic surgery and turned himself into a white man. I wonder, if all that was because his old man said he had a big nose as a kid?
Michael Jackson has die a long time ago, right before our eyes.
The sordid details, that emerged during the child molestation trial, left him mentally and physically broken.
It was very sad to watch such a talent man, secluding not only himself, but also his innocent children from the world.
Will his kids will grow up reserving for him, the same poor regrets he has from his own father?
I may be wrong, but it looks like they were subjected to the same type of life style, “Unusual Childhood”.
They’ve been raised in an exclusive and unique circumstance…I often wonder how adjust they really are!
Jackson has told of being whipped and mentally abused by his own father.
In despite of all, at least he has a mother, and no matter how bad things are, it always a tremendous comfort having a mother around.
In contrast of what have transpired in his childhood…from day one, unusual arrangements where made, and Michael Jackson offspring were all separated from their mothers at birth. Walked around with mask and veils. In 2002 Michael dangled baby Prince Michael II out of a Berlin hotel window. What on earth was he thinking!? That was one of the most outrage, and disgusting act of violence against a child I’ve ever seen. It was visible to all, the struggle of the infant swinging his tiny legs in the air.
Though, Michael Jackson got away with it all, because he was the “King of Pop”.
What was the difference, from the horrible life he claimed to have on his early days, to the ones he provided to his own children?
In regards of his molestation charges, which he was cleared of any wrongdoing, it is not longer a matter of this earth. It will now be between him and GOD!
Regardless, I literally purchased 90% of his songs, loved his sequence of steps, he was an amazing entertainer and I will always appreciate his music.
It may take some time, but at some point, his soul will merge his double self into a better and truer self, meet terms, and mend with what was left behind.
Peaceful be His Next Journey.
