RockOm

As the world mourns the loss of master entertainer Michael Jackson (1958-2009), RockOm takes a minute to invite you to reflect on one of the more lyrically moving songs in his extensive catalog:

I see the kids in the street with not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind, pretending not to see their needs?

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan...

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

In honor and celebration of the influential career of Mr. Jackson - as well as for the sake of those within your personal influence sphere - take a few moments today and reflect upon these powerful lyrics.

How do you want the world to change?

In what ways do you desire things to be different?

Now, what are you going to do about it?
