Michael Jackson -The Unanswered Questions

“All I wanna say that they don’t really care about us….” When Michael Jackson chose this song, I don’t know what he thought of and why he selected these lyrics. Whom he was pointing to? Perhaps some critics, followers and opportunists might have the answer?

But after his untimely passing, while I contemplated the statements made by his associates, family members, and the  news channels, I found myself feeling absolutely sad. His father, sidestepping allegations of child abuse claimed, “we shared a very cordial relationship”. If they had such a good relationship, why wasn’t  he there when MJ needed him as a lost, drug abusing son? Was Joe Jackson there for Michael during his darkest days? What about Michael’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe, his brothers and sisters some of whom he supported financially?

After his passing many people suddenly emerged from the woodwork claiming that they were  close friends of MJ.  Where were they when he needed them? Why was nobody around him except for a highly-paid, drug prescribing personal physician? Did any of them make a serious and sustained effort to wean him off his drug dependency?  Did Michael deliberately shut out those who were closest to him?  What could be the reason behind it?

Was he afraid that they cared more for his money and fame as the “Prince of Pop” than for Michael himself – the insecure, frightened man who  was still a child in many ways. Why did Michael substitute money for true love in his life? Why is life like this? What lessons have Michael taught us with his tragic life?

I wish I could meet MJ and ask all my questions. I wonder what would he say?
