ben is a goon. Not goon in the sense of 'hockey team has a goon' where goon = fighter, but sort of. To social injustice ben would be the goon, who fights...and wins resoundingly for the team on the side of the people.

I guess I would have to say,
that in some ways,
Ben and I are alike,
whether we enjoy it or not we're together in life.
with no form or reason for the way that I weave,
words together you wonder, but with that I'll just leave-
you confused but at the end of the rope,
I know that you'll forgive me because I love God and His hope.

I'm big,
that much would be true,
but Ben is spiffy.

Spiffy speaks for itself,
show that kid some respect!

My thoughts and best wishes for a safe, amazing experience. Cherish the people you meet, celebrate the differences you encounter and make the world a better place but come home to share your experiences and help others to see the difference they can be. Safe travels Ben. The next chai tea is on me!
