The Blessing of a Brother

"With the characteristics I have
I can do just about anything,"
The natural good looks and bleached teeth
Took it up a notch.
A fine line between cocky and confident,
"Remember
You're talking to farmers?"
Yeah, they're normal like me.
Continue:
Your ego outgrows
The implants of your favorite stripper,
With every point self-awarded
For being the damn best-looking guy
You've ever known,
I wonder how we're related.
And I think inside my own head,
"Is this just a lesson?
Why do I need this daily dose of
'I'm so fucking great'
to make me more humble?"
But maybe that's not it at all.
Maybe you're a real person-
A model, at that.
Yeah,
A model who is the dam best-looking guy
I've ever seen.
Then how lucky that makes me
To love it when you speak normal
And it hurts everyone's ears-
To appreciate that every comment you make
Is how "fine" or "rotten" the passing girl is-
To know you have a good heart
Under the veil of strip clubs and ass and whiskey.
When this passes and we both have changed,
I'll love you
Illegitimate children,
Alchoholism,
STD's,
Debt,
Enemies
And all.

Hey, I really liked that. It made me think a lot. In fact, it inspired a lengthy rant on my blog. Can't wait to see you at school!

Peace and love,
Ben
