A Legend Gone Too Soon

He left us, a sad and tormented soul.
Sad not because of people who misunderstood him, betrayed him, taking his money from him.
Sad because these very people had deprived him his chance to help those children.
Children whom he wished so badly to help.

Tormented when he turns on the media to hear his name bastardized and publicized everyday.
Know what it feels like to be referred as Wacko Jacko nonchalantly?
By strangers around you?...
when your name is supposed to be
Michael Joseph Jackson?

Now that he is gone, people start buying and seemingly appreciating his music.
People start recognizing his enormous contributions to both the music and video entertainment.
People begin to remember his efforts in charity campaigns and environmental conservations.

That's nice but a little too late.
