Robert Thomas Pattinson...just a man

And before we get our knickers in a twist...
Let us be realistic and remember this:
Robert Thomas Pattinson, bless his soul,
Is just a man, if the truth be honestly told;
He is not the demigod or avatar we imagine,
Nor a superhuman or alien exotic being,
Except that being a mere and ordinary man
Is the bit we cannot really understand:
What ordinary man can boast his inequitable inheritance -
His exquisite form and luminous countenance,
His range of musical gifts and assets,
His personality and irresistible appeal to either sex?
There have been predecessors of his kind:
Elvis, James Dean and Jim Morrison come to mind,
But all those fleeting and blazing stars that shone
Have slashed our consciousness but now have gone;
So this new incarnation of titanic acclaim,
This fresh beneficiary of outrageous fortune and fame,
How might he overcome his forerunners’ grief?
Of lives overly fast and tragically brief?
The solace and succor must lie in the determination
To live his own life and follow his ambition;
To surround himself with friends and family
Who trust and love in faithful reciprocity;
To always believe in his inner vision,
To exercise self-belief and harness the passion
For seeking the fulfillment of his expansive potential
In all domains: real, spiritual and existential;
Then he might truly translate into palpable reality
The evidential proof of his latent capacity,
And lift the standard for every ordinary man:
He will be The Man, still only just a man...
But then again, what a man!!
