The Funeral Arrangements of Michael Jackson

Various rumors are circulating about the funeral of Michael Jackson; unfortunately, his death will be as his life had been - A Media Circus. Jackson's, often strange, family is staying mum about what they plan to do with the body, but media reports are filled with elaborate memorials, and processions around California and Neverland Valley Ranch.

Some reports have even indicated, "A glass sided coffin" for viewing. It has been an amazing media filled circus, reminding many of Michael Jackson's Video to his song "Leave Me Alone." For those of you don't remember this video, you can now view it on YouTube.

For such a private man, it's appalling that the family would even consider giving a public viewing and the picture taken inside the EMT unit as he was taken to the hospital is repulsive and a poignant reminder of the cruelty he face the majority of his life.

The public will not know how Michael Jackson died until the final corner's report has been made public. According to sources, the office is waiting until the final toxicology report is completed. Now the DEA is inquiring into the case because of the medications found in his home.

Rumors abound about Michael's strange lifestyle, his sexual habits and reporters have gone as far to say that his children are not his own. Does it really matter?

When one reflects on the life of Michael Jackson, the career that spanned 43 years, and the media spotlight that has followed him since he was seven years old, it's very understandable that he would become this introverted shy adult who both loved the limelight and tried to hide away from it.

One thing we all can understand is that Michael Jackson lived at the mercy of the sensationalism and greed. This unfortunate and solitary person surrounded himself with people and family, who preyed on his need for privacy while enabling his obvious addictions.

Their behaviors around Jackson became extremely obvious after his death when individuals danced into the spotlight exposing parts of his life that should have remained private or displayed their grief for personal gain and attention.

As we approach the time of his funeral, the world and media should focus their interests not on the sad life that was Michael Jackson's or his children, but on the people who helped create this forever child and finally helped to destroy him.
