My mind is rambled right now with thoughts and words, but I’m going to figure how to arrange them coherently as I write this.
“The same sword they knight you, they gonna good night you with/sh*t, that’s only half if they like you/that ain’t even the half of what they might do/don’t believe me, ask Michael…”
These words would cross my mind as I read countless text messages and watched various media outlets report the news on Michael Jackson yesterday. I use the word “report” loosely, because it felt more like “promote.” It seemed like everyone was more concerned with being the first to report his death, than actually praying for him to pull it through. I can only imagine how it felt to be one of his immediate loved ones, wishing for him to fight his way back but knowing the world was stating otherwise.
