his news was shared by another fan(whose from Barbados) on another MJ fan site
today-
our Prime Minister has pancreatic cancer, one of the worst and only 5%
survival. He has been away from office since March and everybody wondered what
was wrong with him, he is only 47 years old. He made a recorded public speech
to our Nation and their was a section at the end that just made me cry my eyes
out all over again. It went like this:
"If we can unite first and foremost as sons and daughters of these fields and
hills we call our very own, nothing will hold us back. We did it in the 60s and
70s, and we make no wanton boast of what we can achieve.
"Michael Jackson of late memory reminded us in his song WE ARE THE WORLD that
change will only come when we stand together as one. In his seminal work he
wrote:
"There comes a time when we heed a certain call, when the world must come
together as one. There are people dying, and it's time to lend a hand to life;
the greatest gift of all.
"We can't go on, pretending day by day, that someone, somewhere will soon make
a change. We are all a part, of God's great big family, and the truth, you
know,
love is all we need."
"That's my fondest wish for Barbadians. That we use adversity to reforcus our
energies on what's best for Barbados and that we wrap our actions and our
utterances in the national flag and the furtherance of this great nation we
call home. That's my challenge to you. UNITE AND LOVE."
