Another nice article about Michael's philanthropic and humanitarian contributions...:angel::wub:

Michael Jackson’s Greatest Legacy Was His Philanthropy, Kindness And Generosity
by Christopher May
Most people think of Michael Jackson’s greatest legacy as his dynamic and powerful performances in both dance and song. Music and entertainment are what Michael Jackson is best known for amongst most people around the world. His tremendous originality and creativity in dance and video performances changed forever the genre of rock ‘n roll music videos. His concerts were legendary because of the fire works, theatrical presentation as well as the richly soulful music.
If you look for a common thread about Michael Jackson’s character from those who know him the best you’ll hear words like, “he was very sweet and loving”, “he was a kind person”, “he went out of his way to help others”. Michael was genuinely interested in the welfare of others as much as in his career. This is a sign of a great soul, of a servant of humanity and a positive person. Michael Jackson was not only an outstanding performer, Michael Jackson was an outstanding human being.
If you look at the sum total of his life then will be be obvious that for much of his career he was a active humanitarian, philanthropist and a very generous person with his time and money. He went out of the way to help other people, sometimes is was entertainers but often times and sometimes just the ordinary person.
Even before the musical fund raiser ‘We Are The World’ was put together by Michael, he was constantly finding ways to reach out and help other people. ‘We Are The World’ was primarily designed to raise money for aid work in Africa. Michael Jackson was also involved in visiting children in hospitals, spending time with young cancer patients through the Make A Wish Foundation, and contributed to numerous other charities on a regular basis.
He had a special place in his heart for children perhaps because his childhood was lacking so much joy and playfulness that most children experience. This is what prompted him to create Neverland Ranch to proivde a place to invite kids there by the busloads. He wanted to bring people happiness and remind him of the good things in life.
For Michael Jackson, bringing happiness to young people perhaps was also a way for him to heal his own childhood wounds. He recognized that he could make a contribution in the lives of others in some small way. This felt good. Michael was often called an “innocent” person, someone who trusted others while choosing to see the good in those he connected with.
There’s a lesson for us in Michael Jackson’s legacy. Each of us can do so much for one another other to bring greater well-being, deeper happiness, reach out with an act of kindness or compassion. We can all learn from his example to extend ourselves to heal the world one person at a time.
Sometimes people ask what can I do to make a difference? If you look at the life of Michael Jackson’s life the answer is simple. Everywhere you turn you can bring benefit to someone in some way.

Any one remembers the clip where michael is dancing on the stage and then he walks onto a ramp, where a person (his staff) places a towel on the floor (because it was maybe wet) and then Mj steps on it and starts dancing, he was actually wiping the floor. Its only about 30 seconds long clip i saw very long time ago, wish i could see it again. :cheeky:

An excellent article with multiple recipients by Charles Thomson.
I believe a gratitude e-mail from all of us is in order.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/charle..._b_482176.html
Michael Jackson: It's Time For Outlets to Take Responsibility in Covering the Rock Star
Last week Michael Jackson's guitarist discredited widely reported allegations about the star's behaviour on the road. So why is the media refusing to publish her comments? British writer Charles Thomson explores media bias against black music's biggest star.
Aging glam-rocker Gene Simmons made international headlines last month when he claimed to know that Michael Jackson had molested children. In an interview with Classic Rock, Simmons alleged that Jackson was on tape ordering alcohol for children and that during the star's 2005 trial a travel agent had testified to importing Brazilian boys for Jackson's amusement. He also claimed that a musician friend had quit a Jackson tour after seeing 'boys coming out of the hotel rooms.'
What followed was a classic example of copy and paste journalism. Within hours the story had been duplicated by hundreds of blogs, forums and news websites from Australia to India to the USA. None of them had fact-checked the story before they re-hosted it. Jackson was never on tape ordering alcohol for children. There was never any testimony during his trial about young Brazilian boys. Both of these claims were easily disproven by trial transcripts.
As a relative Jackson expert, I was also unaware of any musician ever leaving one of the singer's tours midway through. So when I sat down a fortnight ago for an interview with Jackson's long serving tour guitarist Jennifer Batten, I ran the story by her.
She told me that no musician had ever quit a Jackson tour. Two musicians had been fired but both were let go before the show hit the road, so they couldn't possibly have witnessed anything going on inside hotels.
When Sawf News published Batten's rebuttal I observed an all too familiar phenomenon. Although the story appeared on Google News and was picked up fairly swiftly by the Examiner, nobody else seemed willing to touch it. Whilst Simmons's speculative and ultimately baseless accusations had been reproduced the world over, Batten's expert rebuttal was being suppressed.
I soon began receiving emails from Jackson's fans telling me that they were sending the story to every celebrity news outlet they could think of, including several of those which published Simmons's initial allegations.
But more than 48 hours later, typing an exact quote from Simmons's rant into a search engine produced almost 350 webpages. The number of news outlets hosting Batten's rebuttal? Three.
This was not the first time I'd had a Jackson story suppressed. After Evan Chandler's suicide in November 2009 I was contacted by the Sun and asked to supply information about the 1993 allegations. I spent quite some time compiling my research, advising the newspaper of common myths and how to avoid them, being careful to source all of my facts from legal documents and audio/visual evidence.
When I read the finished article I was stunned to find that all of my information had been discarded and replaced with the very myths I had advised them to avoid. I alerted staff to the inaccuracies but my emails were not replied. The same inaccuracies appeared in every single article I read about the suicide.
The same bias manifested itself the following month when Jackson's FBI file was released. Across more than 300 pages of information there was not one piece of incriminating evidence -- but that's not the way the media told it.
A videotape seized at customs in West Palm Beach and analysed for child pornography was repeatedly referred to as belonging to Jackson. In actuality, files stated merely that the tape was 'connected' to Jackson and that connection appeared simply to be that somebody had written his name on the sticky label.
In another document the FBI logged a telephone call from a tipster claiming that the bureau had investigated Jackson during the 1980s for molesting two Mexican boys. The files made no other mention of the supposed investigation and the claim was ascribed no validity -- the call was merely noted. But the media persistently referred to the anonymous tipster's unsupported allegations as the FBI's own conclusions.
Jackson's FBI file overwhelmingly supported his innocence but its contents were routinely manipulated to give the opposite impression.
Many are quick to scoff when Jackson's fans speak of a media conspiracy to destroy the star's reputation and I used to scoff with them. As a member of the industry I prefer not to think of it as sinister and conspiratorial, but I find it increasingly difficult to explain away the bias with which Jackson is treated.
I wonder whether the problem is pride. When the 1993 allegations broke, the vast majority of information available was released, either officially or unofficially, by the prosecution. Jackson, meanwhile, remained characteristically silent.
Perhaps because the prosecution's version of events went almost completely unchallenged (although I imagine that drama and selling newspapers had something to do with it, too), the media primarily chose to portray Jackson as guilty.
But as the facts started to trickle out it became increasingly apparent that the case was full of holes. The allegations had been instigated not by the boy but by his father, who had demanded a scriptwriting deal from Jackson before he went to the police. He was on tape plotting to destroy Jackson's career and dismissing his son's wellbeing as 'irrelevant'. Then the boy told cops that Jackson was circumcised, but a police body search concluded that he was not.
Although Jackson's innocence looked increasingly likely, most news outlets had made their bed and to this day they seem unwilling to do anything but lie in it.
Whatever the motivation, be it pride, profit or plain old racism, the bias against Jackson is undeniable. The suppression of Batten's comments proves once more than when it comes to Jackson the media is interested not in fact or reason but negativity and sensationalism. Batten accompanied Jackson on all three of his world tours and was known for a decade as his 'right hand woman'. But Simmons -- who self-confessedly did not know Jackson -- has been given over 100 times more media coverage for his inaccurate ranting than Batten has for her firsthand experience.
It is time for outlets to assume responsibility for their own content. Websites should not re-host other publishers' stories unless they can be completely certain that the content is factual. Even if the media refuses to print the truth about Jackson, they should compromise by not printing the lies either. At least that way he can rest in peace.

Michael Jackson Tribute Poem: Our Inspirational Song
By Injete Chesoni
You lit up the world with your dancing feet
And your sparkling glove
Now that you are gone
You light up our hearts with your un-dying love
Conveyed to us in your inspirational songs
Embraced by your music
We are Not Alone
It matters not if we are
Black or White
Our dreams can forever take flight
Soaring in inspiration
We can Heal the World
Spurred along by your inspiring words
When we look at the Man in the Mirror
We can believe that if we Keep the Faith
Our mission will be clearer
So let us join together and sing
One Earth Song,
To help Heal this World
Before we are gone.
Thank-you Michael Jackson
For being our inspirational song.

I really like this video because it made me laugh and there are lots of great pics of a sexy or funny MJ. And I just can't wrap my head around the Dirty Diana dancing where he stands on his toes and leans way back, I find that so so so......( no words can describe it).
I hope you like it too!

There's a website about a book "It's all for LOVE".
It's all about L.O.V.E. - OUT NOW!
Michael Jackson stories you were never meant to read
A lot has been written about Michael Jackson! His musical genius has been analyzed, his life has been told in ever so many versions, his persona has created reactions from deep admiration to hate.
But there is one thing, one big topic that played such a huge role in Michael's life and career but still has always been neglected: his relationship to his fans! This very special bond that existed between Michael and his fans around the world generated stories that have never been told before and shows a facet of Michael that the general public is not even aware of!
"It's all about L.O.V.E" is a book that contains stories and poems that no journalist, no biographer and no editor in this world could ever write about Michael Jackson. It not only shows the immense inspiration Michael was to his fans but also includes true stories of fans meeting Michael backstage right before his concert or on the set of "In the closet", talking to Michael on the phone, giving an artwork-presentation to him, having a nightly conversation with him or even visiting Michael at home in Neverland. These are stories that only his fans can tell! May this book help to keep his memory alive for many generations of fans that will follow. Not of Michael Jackson the mega star, the Moonwalker or King of Pop - just of Michael, the man who so self-sacrificingly tried to show the world that it is all about L.O.V.E!

The Thriller!
Only a few times in the cosmology of the world have miracles happened. Mother Teresa was considered a saint for her work of healing and uplift. Throughout history few others have been classified as special, miraculous
and magical. From a young boy, the magic of Michael Jackson was apparent but his destiny was something only God could have foreseen.
The power of Michael Jackson touched people in their core. Across the world, the rhythm and beats of his music illuminated the darkness of despair, conquered mountains of monotony and built a legacy of entertainment that will never be matched.
Besides the infectous rhythm and tantalizing beats of his music, Michael's legacy is his spiritual inspiration.
Looked at in totality of his work, Michael's message through his music, words, and videos stands as a testament of the genius and frailness that is capable of the human vessels of God.
Spiritual inspiration pushed through in his words and in the pulsating rhythm that was unmatched. "Just Another Part of Me" was a pulsating, heart pounding anthem of personal power. In it Michael declares, " I'm taking over, I have the truth, this is my mission, I give to you".
"Man In The Mirror" pledged Michael's recognition that he personally had power and responsibility to change the world. It continues to stand as a window of Michael's mission and his message of personal journey. He speaks that the change we seek starts with ourselves and speaks of our dicotomy of power and weakness inside ourselves."We Are The World" culminated Michael's newfound power and mission to change the world. This collaboration in message and scope stands for the power and persona of this man to make a call and have it answered and implemented by so many.
It was a true manifestation of his epic nature as a humanitarian and artist. Michael's mission to touch and use his platform of music to heal the world was unprecedented. But his mission was just beginning.
Black and White and Heal the World spoke to a global utopian universe that Michael envisioned and longed for.
Michael saw a unique paradise, perhaps influenced by his Jehovah's Witness upbringing, where people loved one another and were not deterred by poverty, race, or sickness. Michael promoted his message in his music. In the seldom heard Gospel anthem "Keep The Faith" from the Dangerous album, Michael implored his brothers and sisters to stay strong despite any negative vibes from others.
The History years and the Invincible years saw Michael become even more introspective, globally conscience with "Stranger in Moscow", "Earth Song and "Cry". Michael's later years were limited by his egocentincities and accusations that stifled his global perspective and limited the world from recognizing his miracle. But the music of Michael will live forever and the global humanity of his words and actions will continue to rise and rise.

Only a few times in the cosmology of the world have miracles happened. Mother Teresa was considered a saint for her work of healing and uplift. Throughout history few others have been classified as special, miraculous
and magical. From a young boy, the magic of Michael Jackson was apparent but his destiny was something only God could have foreseen.
The power of Michael Jackson touched people in their core. Across the world, the rhythm and beats of his music illuminated the darkness of despair, conquered mountains of monotony and built a legacy of entertainment that will never be matched.
Besides the infectous rhythm and tantalizing beats of his music, Michael's legacy is his spiritual inspiration.
Looked at in totality of his work, Michael's message through his music, words, and videos stands as a testament of the genius and frailness that is capable of the human vessels of God.
Spiritual inspiration pushed through in his words and in the pulsating rhythm that was unmatched. "Just Another Part of Me" was a pulsating, heart pounding anthem of personal power. In it Michael declares, " I'm taking over, I have the truth, this is my mission, I give to you".
"Man In The Mirror" pledged Michael's recognition that he personally had power and responsibility to change the world. It continues to stand as a window of Michael's mission and his message of personal journey. He speaks that the change we seek starts with ourselves and speaks of our dicotomy of power and weakness inside ourselves."We Are The World" culminated Michael's newfound power and mission to change the world. This collaboration in message and scope stands for the power and persona of this man to make a call and have it answered and implemented by so many.
It was a true manifestation of his epic nature as a humanitarian and artist. Michael's mission to touch and use his platform of music to heal the world was unprecedented. But his mission was just beginning.
Black and White and Heal the World spoke to a global utopian universe that Michael envisioned and longed for.
Michael saw a unique paradise, perhaps influenced by his Jehovah's Witness upbringing, where people loved one another and were not deterred by poverty, race, or sickness. Michael promoted his message in his music. In the seldom heard Gospel anthem "Keep The Faith" from the Dangerous album, Michael implored his brothers and sisters to stay strong despite any negative vibes from others.
The History years and the Invincible years saw Michael become even more introspective, globally conscience with "Stranger in Moscow", "Earth Song and "Cry". Michael's later years were limited by his egocentincities and accusations that stifled his global perspective and limited the world from recognizing his miracle. But the music of Michael will live forever and the global humanity of his words and actions will continue to rise and rise.

Thank you MJJLaugh. A friend of mine mentioned the song of Someone In the Dark to me and all of a sudden, here it is. I love this song, but this time I really listened to the words more intensely. Thanks for posting. :angel::wub:

A Poem by Michael Jackson
From : Dancing the Dream
Quantum Leap
I looked for you in hill and dale
I sought for you beyond the pale
I searched for you in every nook and cranny
My probing was at times uncanny
But everywhere I looked I found
I was just going round and round
In every storm, in every gale
I could hear your silent tale
You appeared wherever I went
In every taste, in every scent
I thought I was in a trance
In every quiver I felt your dance
In every sight I saw your glance
You were there, as if by chance
Even so, I have faltered
Despite the fact, my life has altered
All my doubts were struggles in vain
Of judgments made in memories of pain
Only now, by letting go
I can bask in your glow
No matter where I stray or flow
I see the splendor of your show
In every drama I am the actor
In every experience the timeless factor
In every dealing, every deed
You are there, as the seed
I know now, for I have seen
What could have happened could have been
There is no need to try so hard
For in your sleeve you hold the card
For every fortune, every fame
The Kingdom's here for us to claim
In every fire, every hearth
There's a spark gives new birth
To all those songs never sung
All those longings in hearts still young
Beyond all hearing, beyond all seeing
In the core of your Being
Is a field that spans infinity
Unbounded pure is the embryo of divinity
If we could for one moment BE
In an instant we would see
A world where no one has suffered or toiled
Of pristine beauty never soiled
Of sparkling waters, singing skies
Of hills and valleys where no one dies
That enchanted garden, that wondrous place
Where we once frolicked in times of grace
In ourselves a little deep
In that junkyard in that heap
Beneath that mound of guilt and sorrow
Is the splendor of another tomorrow
If you still have promises to keep
Just take that plunge, take that leap.

Dance of Life - Written by Michael Jackson
the music in the video is the haungtingly beautiful 'Claire de Lune' by Claude Debussy, one of Michael's favorites.
[youtube]L95EkNS4TBk[/youtube]
I cannot escape the moon. Its soft beams push aside the curtains at night. I don't even have to see it — a cool blue energy falls across my bed and I am up. I race down the dark hall and swing open the door, not to leave home but to go back into it. "Moon, I'm here!" I shout.
"Good," she replies. "Now give us a little dance."But my body has started moving long before she says anything. When did it start? I can't remember — my body has always been moving. Since childhood I have reacted to the moon this way, as her favorite lunatic, and not just hers. The stars draw me near, close enough so that I see through their twinkling act. They're dancing, too, doing a soft molecular jiggle that makes my carbon atoms jump in time.With my arms flung wide, I head for the sea, which brings out another dance in me. Moon dancing is slow inside, and soft as blue shadows on the lawn. When the surf booms, I hear the heart of the earth, and the tempo picks up. I feel the dolphins leaping in the white foam, trying to fly, and almost flying when the waves curl high to the heavens. Their tails leave arcs of light as plankton glow in the waves. A school of minnows rises up, flashing silver in the moonlight like a new constellation.
"Ah!" the sea says, "Now we're gathering a crowd."
I run along the beach, catching waves with one foot and dodging them with the other. I hear faint popping sounds — a hundred panicky sand crabs are ducking into their holes, just in case. But I'm racing now, sometimes on my toes, sometimes running flat-out.I throw my head back and a swirling nebula says, "Fast now, twirl!"Grinning, ducking my head for balance, I start to spin as wildly as I can. This is my favorite dance, because it contains a secret. The faster I twirl, the more I am still inside. My dance is all motion without, all silence within. As much as I love to make music, it's the unheard music that never dies. And silence is my real dance, though it never moves. It stands aside, my choreographer of grace, and blesses each finger and toe.
I have forgotten the moon now and the sea and the dolphins, but I am in their joy more than ever. As far away as a star, as near as a grain of sand, the presence rises, shimmering with light. I could be in it forever, it is so loving and warm. But touch it once, and light shoots forth from the stillness. It quivers and thrills me, and I know my fate is to show others that this silence, this light, this blessing is my dance. I take this gift only to give it again.Quick, give!" says the light.
As never before, I try to obey, inventing new steps, new gestures of joy. All at once I sense where I am, running back up the hill. The light in my bedroom is on. Seeing it brings me back down. I begin to feel my pounding heart, the drowsiness in my arms, the warm blood in my legs. My cells want to dance slower. "Can we walk a little?" they ask. "It's been kind of wild."
"Sure." I laugh, slowing to an easy amble.
I turn the doorknob, panting lightly, glad to be tired. Crawling back into bed, I remember something that I always wonder at. They say that some of the stars that we see overhead aren't really there. Their light takes millions of years to reach us, and all we are doing is looking into the past, into a bygone moment when those stars could still shine.
"So what does a star do after it quits shining?" I ask myself. "Maybe it dies."
"Oh, no," a voice in my head says. "A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life." I like that thought, the last one I have before my eyes close. With a smile, I melt back into the music myself.
