The truth about MJ
We need to be truthful here. This Jacko is
just plain freaky as evidenced with the fact that it slept
in an oxygen chamber with monkeys and little boys. He/she
grabbed his/her crotch nonstop in concerts. It wore one
sparkly glove, high waters, golden thongs, catchers' shin
guards, and jackets with zippers for nothing. It hung its
infant out of a six story window. It was actually married
to the real "King's" daughter, Lisa Marie. It had so many
plastic surgeries that its nose looked as if it was about
to fall off. It bought the remains of the Elephant Man.
It bleached its skin to look whiter. It took hormone
treatments which caused it to sound girly. It has a doctor who
lived with him to administer pain killing shots. Interventions
didn't work for it.
There are so many oddities surrounding this individual that it is not
even funny.
Here is where I find the problem - we glorify this
wacko in the media and see its followers around the world
crying in anguish, yet give little attention to Farrah
Fawcett, a person that was of good character and
suffered tremendously.
Only God knows why some honor Mj so much.......I don't!
Yes, his music was great......but......music doesn't make "the man."

A gift......
Simple Gifts
Simple Gifts was written by Shaker Elder Joseph Brackett, Jr. in 1848. It was first published in The Gift to be Simple: Shaker Rituals and Songs. Simple Gifts was a work song sung by the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing (more commonly called the Shakers, an offshoot of the Quakers).
'Tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free,
'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.
Refrain:
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed.
To turn, turn will be our delight,
'Til by turning, turning we come round right
'Tis the gift to be loved and that love to return,
'Tis the gift to be taught and a richer gift to learn,
And when we expect of others what we try to live each day,
Then we'll all live together and we'll all learn to say,
Refrain:
'Tis the gift to have friends and a true friend to be,
'Tis the gift to think of others not to only think of "me",
And when we hear what others really think and really feel,
Then we'll all live together with a love that is real.
