Some felt that I was bad, a monster. Others said I was dangerous and asked me to beat it. That’s human nature. I never hid behind the mask, nor in the closet. I kept telling myself ‘keep the faith’, ‘keep your head up’…they will leave me alone. I am not a smooth criminal. Hold my hand as I heal the world with my music and remember the time you said ‘we’ve had enough’. Friends, here’s some breaking news: you are not alone. I might have gone too soon…much too soon. But this is life…this is it! Thank you MJ for all those memorable songs. R.I.P. June 25, 2009. Question: How many Michael Jackson songs can you find in this passage?
