Clone: Formerly Known As Twin

We were born identical When we were created apart; In very different wombs. Now my mind runs to where you hide Unobscured by camouflage In the bright dim light of Morally decade manmade nature. I was created as spares for you, But I think, and therefore I cannot Spare you. Spent by this affliction I no longer See with blind crystal clarity, But instead I begin at this end. The invalidity of science Has caused its own creation to Abandon the method For the metaphysical instead. Twin, fear not death, For when you are found, You will only die to live. Used up, you will be spared From that exhilarating mundane Life of genetic originality.
