A true teacher

So here's the thing about Michael. He's the only person that ever lived that succeeded in fulfilling the true mission of man. He erased the borders, there were no boundaries, he killed stereotypes and lived out of the box. He was everything and nothing. He was masculine, feminine, adult, child, black, white, gay, straight, real and make-believe all at once. 
Michael was all of it. In his own way, peculiar as it might have been to some, he did what all of us should be striving for. I may spend every day of my life talking about how people should erase the lines between race, religion, gender and nationality. I may even contribute to it in my own way. But Michael actually went ahead and embodied it. He killed stereotypes. He was an adult as a child and a child as an adult. He was born black, until nature turned him white. He grew into the body of a man with the soul of a child. He was physically masculine, but spiritually feminine. He was a child, he fathered children, he loved children. He healed in ways he could, the thrilled in ways he could. He was everything and nothing at the same time. He was and always will remain a superior soul. An evolved soul who was here on a mission. A mission of peace and acceptance. He laboured his way through his 50 years to lead by example. He was here to teach us that souls are souls. We aren't men, women, black or white. We are. He was. He proved. And he will remain.
