Para/Poem Challenge "Open"

Cliques and pranks,
and furtive hookups;
a horrifying backdrop
for manufactured playthings.

The bemused child of no privilege
through some chaotic predestination
flips his tail with threats
as if a monster, a menace,
or a cannibal’s prey,
embracing his gruesome lot
in one blockbuster trade.

Don’t be timid;
with empathy and remorse,
bolster his confidence,
so the embryonic clone
can escape the petri dish.
