At last, is laid to rest one of the most enigmatic performers of the modern era.Michael Jackson's death brought a tragic end to one of the trailblazing icons who united the black and white music and shattered the race barrier on MTV , perpetually dominating the charts. He was perhaps one of the most exciting performers of his generation, known for his backward-gliding moonwalk, his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves and his high-pitched singing, punctuated with squeals and titters.
A "consummate entertainer" and the biggest pop sensation of all times. Personally this is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me. I will always remember him as a "tortured genius" whose squeals and sliding moves captivated a generation and who sparked global trends in music, dance and fashion. Jackson enriched our lives. With his music he tried to "heal the world", a world torn apart by greed and adventurism. His music made us happy, although unfortunately his weirdness made us unhappy too. I can't believe how many people dwell on the negativity of this man's life, rather than the trails that were blazed by such an icon. Let us remember that before the "whaco Jacko" there lived a Michael who always enthralled us with his scintillating performances.
I was skimming through his childhood photographs and one of them captured my interest. Perhaps this photograph embodies the innocence and the rich legacy of music that he has left behind.
Peace be upon him.

Isn't all existence torn between these edges? Nice dedication that and I will say that again - I love your prose style! :)
