- Michael is..was...always will be ONE special person.
I only wish he were still here...... to share with us....his legacy.
Michael succeeded in accomplishing a feat that no other country, artist, and person was ever able to. He was able to erase all the lines that separate... age, gender, languages, Countries, Nations, Race, skin color, Politics, economic class barriers, generational differences...If only the world .... would have listened completely. He succeeded and found... world peace.
In his dance, words, songs, language, in his look, in his view. He had faith in all of us....I only wish that all had listened. - Reply to this comment
