As you would expect, when Michael Jackson released his album This It It in 2009, a two-CD set containing a movie of the same name and one
of his poems called "Planet Earth", critics were quick to jump on him.
As far as the poem was concerned, some people said that it was somewhat childish, others considered it sort of insipid or too mushy.
To some critics, the poem was seen as environmentally premonitory.
No matter what, Michael Jackson´s poem obviously has a message: We should pay attention to our home planet otherwise, for the way we are going, we are at risk of not getting any more tomorrows as a species in the not too distant future.
The time is now. We must act right now, following Mother Nature´s grain.
We must seize the moment.
This is our challenge.
Our challenge as tourists on our fleeting sojourn on Earth.
We humans are all tourists on this planet.
Michael Jackson was no exception.
And just when he was getting started on the environmental track, he kicked the bucket.
Or was he made to kick the bucket?
Some people think so. They have suggested that Michael Jackson was killed by the Illuminati so that he would not mess up with the global oligarchy´s hidden agenda.
Whatever the case might be, he went through this planet only once, like everyone else, although sucking more Biosphere juice than most mortals, for he lived in extreme luxury.
Despite all of the mambo jumbo to confuse the fandango, there ain´t such a thing as "sustainable luxury".
No matter what the "sustainable" entrepreneurs say, having millions of bucks always means sucking up a lot of Biosphere juice from Mother Nature.
Anyway, what did this mortal tourist leave behind?
Michael Jackson left piles of money, possessions, questions and a lot of recorded music.
So, for those of you who are interested on Michael Jackson´s recorded poem, here it is along with a clip (Video 1):
Planet Earth
Planet Earth, my home, my place,
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space,
Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust,
A minor globe, about to bust,
A piece of metal bound to rust,
A speck of matter in a mindless void,
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid.
Cold as a rock without a hue,
Held together with a bit of glue,
Something tells me this isn't true.
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue.
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart,
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole,
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of history,
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood.
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form.
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat.
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste.
In your beauty, I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now.
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust,
A minor globe, about to bust,
A piece of metal bound to rust.
A speck of matter in a mindless void.
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid.
Cold as a rock without a hue,
Held together with a bit of glue,
Something tells me this isn't true.
You are my sweetheart, gentle and blue.
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart,
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole,
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue,
With all my heart, I love you.
Michael Jackson

Now, it is all up to us to pay attention to Michael Jackson´s message.
And his message is not alone.
Indeed. We are surrounded by plenty of messages about the negative impact of our touristing on this beautiful planet.
Can you yourself name one?
How is your Biosphere juice sucking?
