Man In The Mirror

I have something in common with Michael Jackson,
I lived a childhood life of abuse from my father.
For sure we both have had many struggles each day
to just find ourselves.
After the abuse we have to find ways to channel the pain and anger.
When you see the outcome of a child's future you don't understand why
a child becomes angry, in pain, you must look at the man in the mirror,
and just maybe you can see why.
So Michael has passed on and left many behind in this world.
His pain was felt in many ways,so bad,some positive and unfortunately some wrong.
Besides all his troubled and adventurous life, he left us with many nice songs which
we shall never forget till we are gone.
Personally his song "Ben" touched me the most of all his songs, there was this movie
with the same title about a pet rat that was abused by it's owner and other rats he social with.
Eventually he rises among the pack and proved no matter how much you beat one day,we shall rise and stand
our ground and defend our lives.
This movie sets good morals that as humans when we see the weak, less fortunate you need to treat them as
equal because we are all human and deserve to live a peaceful lives too.
I only hope one day we can live on this planet with no wars,corruption and tyranny, i think we have had enough
abuse and must press on to seek happiness and peace.
