The Books of Michael - Excerpt 4

From the Sixth Book of Mohammed Michael Egypt, First son of Africa.

And so it came to pass that my Michael was asked to speak at Oxford, a seat of great learning in the United Kingdom. Many leading intellectuals and scholars had gathered for his address, including the rabbi Shmuley.

"I am asking you, I am asking myself, to give our parents the gift of unconditional love, so that they too may learn how to love from us, their children. So that love will finally be restored to a desolate and lonely world."

"I am asking you, I am asking myself, to give our parents the gift of unconditional love, so that they too may learn how to love from us, their children. So that love will finally be restored to a desolate and lonely world."

The Books of Michael - Excerpt 3

From the Fourth Book of Johnny Michael New Zealand, First son of Australasia

Michael Jackson on top of limo.Every night of every week of every year Michael would share his bed with children. He would share his bed with children regardless of race, creed or economic background. He would open his bed to children of all ages. His love knew no bounds.

From the Third Book of Mary Michael China, First daughter of Asia

Weakened by radiation and the grim news, the boy said to his father, “Before I die I would like to meet Michael Jackson.”

His father knew in his heart that being a man of limited means he would never be able to fulfill such a request. When he left the room he collapsed in tears.

In blind desperation the father telephoned Neverland and left this message: “My son is dying of terminal cancer and has only a week to live. His greatest wish is to be able to talk to Michael Jackson.”

The message was delivered, and the next day Michael telephoned the boy.

Happy Sleepy

Happy Sleepy tumble and surf
Building pillows drift

Travel in style
Dare to smile and smile
Opening feelings shift

Buying hides
Riding the tides
Eyeing the Eye of Sauron

Wishing tales
Jumping scales
Stroking the pet of a life on earth

Playing with strings and vibrating things
Happy Sleepy tumble and surf
