Nobody’s clone

 It is a race
 I find no place
 to escape dominance
 or find prominence
  
 dates are only a number
 a generation in deep slumber
 says - those born before will rule
 for them, life is just cool
  
 Into the world, do I bring some more?
 make them feel life is a chore…
 to make my life worthwhile
 in the process, cramp their style
  
 my moves in self-defence
 seen as crossing the fence
 a fight for freedom –called rebellion
 anachronistic – one in a million
  
 I refuse to bow my head
 to solitary terrain - I’m led
 happy to be left alone
 I am myself- nobody’s clone
