This Is It!

This Is It!

Michael Joseph Jackson was a complex but simple man, one who was detached from fame, although he was famous. I remember first seeing him on television with his sister Janet, when they had their variety show. However, I was young then and since secular music wasn’t allowed in our household, I didn’t know about him. When I was fourteen I remember going to a house party a friend was having, he took out a record and began to play it. The record was Off The Wall by Michael Jackson, I remember dancing and having fun. However, my friends were avid fans of this singer named Michael Jackson and I mean they were die hard fans. They wore his style of clothing, knew all of the songs, knew his dance moves, and wore their hair like his. While I did not go as far as them, I did have a Thriller jacket. My favorite song by Michael Jackson was and is: You Wanna Be Starting Something, all I have to do is hear the beat and I am in my own world.

Around 1994 I really began to study Michael Jackson and his soul. I really began to listen to the lyrics of his songs. They were vibrating a level of awareness and light, that some were not ready for. I then began to pay attention to his presence and how his energy would cause people to just pass out or feel they had to see him. Some of them didn’t even care about touching him, they just wanted to see him and be in his presence. He could command an audience far greater then the Pope, Dalai Lama or President Obama. A person walking with that height of vibration is not normal. Maybe that explains why Michael Jackson appeared to be peculiar to some. He would often speak about how he didn’t like all of the attention. In reality he was seeking an escape from what had become his earthly reality.


Michael Jackson and his siblings have spoken about the abuse they suffered as children at the hands of their father. Though it may have pushed them to be the stars they became, it also affected them, in particular Michael. Due to mental and physical abuse, he could never see the beauty that he was. He tried to find a place of escape in cosmetic surgery, prescription drugs and Never Land. Not realizing that you can not escape from yourself. You are all that you have until you are no more, which is never, because life is eternal. Each album cover Michael Jackson took on a new image, his nose got tinier, his complexion got lighter and his hair got straighter. However, he was still Michael Jackson, and like every human being, he had his own demons to fight against.

Children are sponges; they soak up everything around them, because they are sensitive to information. For example children are honest, because they have pure hearts. They can tell us things about ourselves that may make us uncomfortable, but when we think about it, it is sometimes what we need to hear. Children are shaped by their family, community and society. Each word they hear subconsciously seeps into their memory bank. This is why we have to speak life and love to children and not just children but everyone. I encourage everyone to pay attention to how children are behaving. They will usually show signs of struggles and problems, which then need to be addressed. If they are left unaddressed they may grow into behaviors that are detrimental.
