What left this earth this afternoon was a broken, lost individual; the shell of a man who’s been looking for decades for an elusive Hope it seems he never found.
We can mourn the loss of a soul that it seems never made peace with its Creator, but we should be wary of glorifying a man whose life was riddled with scandal and addiction.
A talented musician, yes…but I ask more of a role model.

this sums up how i feel about his death too, and im almost positive that a lot of people agree with you!

There are no role models on earth. Period. When we start to look at “men” like role models, we’ve messed up.

AMEN! that is exactly how I feel!
I couldn’t agree more.
I would make no martyr of thee
Who hath not suffered for mine own sins.
It frightening how the public and media idolizes those who are a simply reflections of our own sin in the name of faith.
They should return to their bibles and reacquaint their selves with whom the true “king” is.
Thank you, I just found your comment. I owe you for some of the inspiration. Even though I was already a little irked, obviously the poem started here. But I sorted it all out in my head while i was at church and when I got home I spit it out. It still needs a little polish maybe but… I “proclaim” you the “queen” of it’s inspiration.
Peace.
None of us could look inside Michael’s soul, so let’s not make assumptions and judgments of what he may or may have been searching for and may or may not have found. There are many elements to his life that were NOT made public that we do not know about and possibly never will.
Let’s leave the judging to God (as the Bible clearly states we should) and hope for the best in people.
Redfallnight – You’re very right. It is not our place to judge and, in fact, I admit I can’t say what happened in MJ’s heart in his last days.
When I wrote this, I was appalled at the hero worship that was going on on every TV and radio station, in every magazine…and the capitalising his family seemed – and continues to seem – to be doing on his death.
M.j is gone n neva ll he return back to us,when he was alive he had no peace now he is resting n stil no peace.let leave him 2 enjoy his enternal sleep,as for judgement dat is left 4 God.
