@StereoRooster, always on his A-game, shines in this piece.

"Demons haunted his nights, angels guided his days, slept at dawn, woke at dusk . . . Silence taught him lessons, he learned to meditate, one night he met a djinn / Little Mumble Bunny read books voraciously . . .
Hungry for acceptance outside of his family, his complicit parents / Understanding nothing of children or childhood, except trauma and pain . . . Sinister family rules into strict discipline, privilege for the first born . . .
the first born son knows all, how bees thrive in their hives . . . In the eyes of the Lord, C. K. felt unworthy, compared to the black pearl . . . Yet somehow he survived childhood, entered college, studied Classics . . . siblings surround Mumble Bunny in order to dement /
Scramble his brain with fear until body and mind drop away as they scare . . . As he had three wishes offered by the old djinn, a pair of testicles / Nothing less than solving homelessness, poverty and loss of innocence /
Drug and sex trafficking, global hunger, world peace, and global climate change / Since eight requests in one revealed his liberal bleeding heart, the djinn saw / Much to discuss, the boy now a middle-aged man, felt this was his last chance /
Eventually, C. K. decided to tackle these problems with a book / Rough draft to print copies took twenty years, he died before the world he shook"
