The Clone You Wish to Be


DNA from the donor is wiped clean and the desired DNA is inserted.

After performing the tasks the cloning process begins,

But something has been lost as well as gained.  

 

The cloning process crafted a series of personalities.

However, clones were driven by anxiety and the desire for security.

They seek to establish security by conquering their donor’s reality,

 

But they deny their own weaknesses and become absorbed.

They forget who they are and adopt an onlooker’s attitude toward life.

These detached clones leave the reality of the donor.

 

They seek to live tranquilly,

But there is constant threat of being captured.

Clones suffer at the end of life;

Because of a distraught human trying to prolong the desired reality.

So “let go” of the mongrels of fake reality.

​​Instead be the you that you have always been meant to be.
