What's to Become of Ben?Apr 01 '09 (Updated Feb 10 '10) Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line Hurley and I are waiting to see if the universe implodes... I wrote this poem today in response to a poetry month writing prompt. Of course, knowing LOST was on in a few hours, I had my favorite show on the brain. Tonight's episode seems to have answered a question or two about Ben, but the mysteries are only beginning to be unraveled. How much did Ben know about what was about to happen when he hopped the plane back to the Island? Did he realize what he'd been pruning Sayid to do? We shall see... The Once and Future Ben A broken man with malice in his heart Sits calmly in his seat and reads a book That hints at epic journeys. But a look Into his eyes does not reveal the part That he will shortly play. Does he suspect The doom that he has brought upon the lad He loves and loathes, the boy whose bitter dad Was caustic in his efforts to connect? "Whatever happened, happened," so they say. Then does the man recall the treachery That, for another, still is yet to be? Or did his past unfold another way? Did bloodied Ben facilitate a crime Defining the direction of his youth, Or, when we are presented with the truth, Will we discover that the course of time Is not so fixed as many would insist? A child is shot by one consumed with wrath. Perhaps this sets him on the villain's path; Perhaps he simply ceases to exist.
