 Prophet:
An Article on the Fifth Anniversary
of the Death of Michael Jackson25 Wednesday Jun 2014 Posted by sylmortilla
The sun takes twelve days to set after its glorious zenith on Vindication Day. Clouds gather, too: though tinged by the touch of the star’s tragic tiring – exacerbating an increasing anxiety that ultimately succumbs to a bleak and black sadness.
Childhood is a period of utopia perpetually repeated for all time, just by differing people. It is a phase of existence content in its inherent disregard of the differences between people, even that of language. This utopia is what people attempt to recreate through the retrograde reach that is the recreational use of opiate drugs. Michael Jackson included. In the lyrics to Place With No Name, Michael sings about finding what he “can fix”, he discovers a “place where no people have pain” in which “kids are playin’… and no-one’s in fear.” It’s a criminal tragedy that Michael Jackson was coerced into such extremes of escapism due to the spiritual pillaging that was done to his home and solace, Neverland. This is why I always refer to the 2005 trial as being what ultimately killed him on June 25th, 2009 – five years ago today.
The news of the Estate being sued for their attempted deceit of fans, gives millions of said fans a distinct opportunity to evolve in the same way that Michael did – from the man obsessed with having the world’s biggest selling record, to the man obsessed with building the world’s biggest children’s hospital; from materialism to spiritualism. Our peaceful protest in defending the legacy and name of Michael Jackson is gathering pace. Our numbers are amassing. Recruits are being educated with the knowledge that a life of the magnitude of Michael Jackson’s cannot be frittered away by those motivated by greed and vacuous consumerism. Michael Jackson’s life is an opportunity for the people of the planet to reflect upon what is actually important for each and every one of us. And I don’t imagine media-driven malice is up there high on that list.
Two years ago, the charity Invisible Children embarked upon their Kony 2012 campaign – in which the Internet was used as a tool to try and uncover and apprehend a child enslaver. It was a false dawn. But it demonstrated the incredible power to create positive change that is lying dormant within postmodern media practices. The sad thing regarding the efforts of Invisible Children and its founder, was that they were unprepared for the bestial vindictiveness that was the backlash from traditional media. Something that Michael fought in the face of, every day.
Michael was the magnetic musician of the people, who defied expectations thrust upon him by this close-minded media. He challenged them, and in doing so, sacrificed his life. We must make the most of the bittersweet fruits borne of a uniquely oppressed childhood and subsequently misunderstood adulthood. We must undo the damage done by the demonic. We must be brave in outing and ousting the bullies. We owe it to Michael. We owe it to his mission. In the developed world, children have been removed from workhouses and relieved of their yokes, and have been granted rights instead. Michael is a catalyst for this achievable ideal to be made the norm across the entire globe. Michael could see that the time and technology was imminent for the mass utilisation of free information and communication for the doing of good. Michael Jackson was a man worth believing in; Michael Jackson was a visionary; Michael Jackson was a prophet.
And the sun may well have set.
But, today – remember: we glow by the moon.
