in his conscience
a sickness had paved
unto the ailment
he had become enslaved

long his suffering
never did it abate
within his chronic mind
it did lastingly plate

the ill of plagiarism
was deeply engrained
of his character
e'er would be stained

a script he'd copy
with no reluctance
the nature of his persona
had a replicating parlance

time ne'er bequeathed
him an enduring remedy
for his flagrant
re-producing malady
