Temple ~ Sunday, 7 January 2018

Mumble Bunny never 
known as the funny son 
puts his shoes on his hands 

And walks down the staircase 
upside down and naked 
for all to see his smile 

Reveals nobody loves 
a provocative child 
who makes his dad look bad 

Barely does he notice 
his youngest son as worth 
his time he understands 

Little and remembers 
nothing about childhood 
the wild misunderstood 

Enfants terribles soft 
in the brain as troubled 
youth full of naughty pranks 

Sinister beyond help 
Mumble Bunny learns hard 
lessons the easy way 

Teach a child that parents 
turn a blind eye to games 
children play and the file 

Attached to adulthood 
his mom plants in his brain 
makes Mumble Bunny sad 

To grow older to strive 
to achieve a life worth 
having and eating cake 

Ugly in appearance 
his older brother knows 
torture brings out the good 

Enter the world of harm 
neglect and latch-key kids 
of gratitude and thanks 

Teach a child to endure 
no matter how awful 
the harsh games children play 

Experience offers 
years of tears and heartbreak 
before wisdom takes hold 

Mumble Bunny so shy 
and quiet bites his tongue 
before he speaks harsh words 

Predators like brother 
come with the package deal 
to help detect the fake 

Laughter of evil men 
from the deeds they partake 
in in boardrooms too cold 

Even for their marble
hearts to slow down to watch 
the wings of hummingbirds
