The legendary king of pop-Michael Jackson!

He was unlike anyone of us,

He revolutionized music

He was the embodiment of talent.

I dedicate Billie Holiday´s song strange fruit to honour him because he was also the victim of racism as the majority of blacks in the United States.

This is the song that shall be played on my funeral on the 21st of september 2049.........or ......hopefully later. You never know with life. Take a day at a time and enjoy it with your loved ones.


"Southern trees bear strange fruit,

Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,

Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,

Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,

The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,

Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,

Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,

For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,

For the sun to rot,

for the trees to drop,

Here is a strange and bitter crop."

The walk of fame is often a walk of solitude.

May he always be remembered as a genius and rest in eternal peace.

"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with."

by the way..

"I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I aint scared of
Your brother
I aint scared of no sheets
I aint scare of nobody
Girl when the
Goin gets mean

Protection
For gangs, clubs
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
Its a turf war
On a global scale
Id rather hear both sides
Of the tale
See, its not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
Ive seen the bright
Get duller
Im not going to spend
My life being a color"

Black or white
by M. Jackson


Nobody (...who is nobody?)

"Nobody was for the rape
but the women got raped
nobody was for the killings
but the children got shot
nobody was for racism
but racial segregation laws were passed
nobody voted for the Nationalist Party
but they spent 40 years in office
nobody remembers a thing
and I must forget...
I think we need another TRC
so that nobody can tell us the truth
the truth,
to set nobody free…"
