One Day In Your Life

You never know when it'll come to an end.
I heard my mobile burble when i had already gone to bed last night. It was charging at the bottom of the stairs and it woke me. It was before midnight. I had gone to bed about 10pm as i planned to take an early trip out to the Abergwesyn Pass and Llyn Brianne just south west of there.
I had set my alarm on that ffon for just before 05:00. My old ffon i had set for a few minutes earlier again. It was this that woke me to wakey-wakey. I set the bath in motion and tripped down to my newer ffon to cancel the alarm.
The text had not been a dream. There was an unopened envelope showing on the screen. One of the guy's at work.
Mr Jackson was telling me that Mr Jackson had died. I was expecting to carry on reading and for the text to be a whimsical but bad joke. It was no joke.
Michael Jackson - Wacko Jacko - pop legend. Superstar to many was dead.

I always liked his music tho' was never moved to even buy the best seller THRILLER.
The one song he did that has always moved me is Earth Song.
It is powerful. It is not to be taken lightly.
This is it:-

What about sunrise What about rain
What about all the things That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields Is there a time
What about all the things That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world Look what we've done
What about all the peace That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields Is there a time
What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice The crying Earth the weeping shores
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are Although I know we've drifted far
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah

Hey, what about yesterday (What about us) What about the seas (What about us)
The heavens are falling down (What about us) I can't even breathe (What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth (What about us) Can't we feel its wounds (What about us) What about nature's worth (ooo, ooo) It's our planet's womb (What about us)
What about animals (What about it) We've turned kingdoms to dust (What about us) What about elephants (What about us) Have we lost their trust (What about us)
What about crying whales (What about us) We're ravaging the seas (What about us)
What about forest trails (ooo, ooo) Burnt despite our pleas (What about us)
What about the holy land (What about it) Torn apart by creed (What about us)
What about the common man (What about us) Can't we set him free (What about us) What about children dying (What about us) Can't you hear them cry (What about us) Where did we go wrong (ooo, ooo) Someone tell me why (What about us)
What about babies (What about it) What about the days (What about us)
What about all their joy (What about us) What about the man (What about us)
What about the crying man (What about us) What about Abraham (What was us)
What about death again (ooo, ooo) Do we give a damn
Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah
