What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine.
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores
During the great king of pop’s long career, he was an easy target for derision, and the derision unavoidably came along with any move he made. But his donation is, perhaps more expressively, one of generosity. Michael Jackson had contributed large portion of his riches to charities focusing on AIDS, many children’s charities, NAACP, United Negro College Fund, among many others. Before he was sad, before he was Bad, apparently he was also green.
One of the king of pop’s songs "Earth Song" is to some a curious matter. It is Jackson's biggest selling single ever in the U.K. while it was never released as a single in the U.S. It is the third single from the album History: Past, Present and Future, Book I. The Earth song has resurfaced as an anthem for World Environment Day. Moreover "Earth Song" gathered honor from various environmental and animal protection groups:
The Kings of pop, Michael Jackson Message?
While we may not live as exceptionally as the King of Pop did, his transitory is still certainly a consideration on the fleetingness of death. One day we’re here, one day we’re not. And that our stuff, if not eco-friendly, will live on well beyond our human lifespan.
If we want our legacy to be as green as our living one, the eco-rule of thumb is simple: Live simply-as clutter-free and minimally as possible. And then have a plan in place, so that friends and family make sure nothing gets left behind—unused or trashed. |
