#plagiarist
Don't touch my poetry
Unless you're a plagiarist.
It's infectious.

For days he had searched for the words, but they would not come
He shouted, ‘Stop mocking me gods, you have had your fun!’
Another sleepless night and the day was here
As the class grew nearer so did the fear
And then he realised the route he had to go
Steal or borrow, no one will ever know
That evening he beamed as he read the stolen creation
And when he finished, he smiled and waited for their adulation
But all he heard was….
‘Oy you **** I wrote that!!’ as he was swiftly thumped in the face

someone out in cyber-land
might just be
copying a poem which they'll
attribute to their own tee
unscrupulous replicators
have no qualms
on flagrantly stealing the lines
from genuine arms
when they take a fancy
to your brilliance of verse
they'll naff off with all or part of it
and stow it within their purse
piracy is rife around
online writing dales and dells
it's the pilfering of an authentic
author's heart and soul bells
they say that imitation
is the sincerest form of flattery
but an alternate opinion
would say plagiarists are bereft
of an original wordage battery

an errant pirate has been active
in the copying caper
naffing off with other poet's
scripted draper
this person was seen to be doing
some stanza reproduction
using a falsified form of title
introduction
as bold as brass
pinching what takes the fancy
not caring about the original
Nancy or Clancy
those who think that stealing
other writer's material is okay
have need of gearing
their scruples the right way

The plagiarist is somebody
who loves the high regard.
Talent less and lazy and
lack a sense of working hard.
Its easier to copy,
take credit for another's trade
because they lack accomplishment,
it makes them feel afraid.
Afraid, because of inadequacy
in what they do or say
they want the credit of their peers
without a price too pay.
Incompetent and shallow
might cause these beasts to steal.
They like to boast of mastery
but of course this is not real
Shameful in their thievery
could never achieve the work they stole
but perhaps when they're pretending
this helps to make them feel whole.
This should not make them happy.
This should not make them glad.
In fact it should reiterate
that they are really, very sad!
