Writers Karma

Cruel Plagiarism Prose Challenge

Such lack of respect,

Those dejected imbeciles,

Thriving on leeching the talent

From hard working souls.

The worthless at heart,

They scream insecurity,

No humility,

No integrity,

Not a fiber of good walks with them.

They smile at applause

On another man's work,

Cheesing as credit

Is bestowed in their name.

Ah, but that Karma,

It will catch them one day.

The writers,

we’re lurking,

waiting for a mistake.

I think we know where this one finds its target, I believe in karma too but it can be good to strike back in the way we know best, this issue of late has lost me 2 friends on here not even involved in events just tired of it all, this poem is a good hard slap at plagiarism and is an excellent piece of poetry, well done Briana :)

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you very much. not sure who this person is who is plagiarizing, but i say we set them on fire :D

[R Smith]

no need they gone :D

[Briana O'Connor]

I still want to set him on fire. he's not gone he's just changed sites! he's still on quite a few of them actually. stupid d****e canoe!

[R Smith]

d****e canoe! never heard that before haha

[Briana O'Connor]

:D Some people are such a******s I have to invent words for them!

[R Smith]

which makes me see why your such a great poet and inventor of words :)

[NoelHC]

The recent kerfuffle on here shows how careful a writer has to be to maintain possession of our work. Well expressed in this writing.

[Briana O'Connor]

Its too bad that copywrite under out work isn't legally binding.

[TL Boehm]

I do believe that what we do with our words or with someone else's words will definitely come back to us and that is the thing I think that keeps me from gutting others for their rotten behavior sometimes. Theft is theft. You addressed this well in this one. :)

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D

Hello there!

Plagiarism is really becoming a theme to write about lately--and with reason, no doubt. I know that most of us on this site could write essays on how low plagiarists are, how utterly disrespectful the act is. You not only did a wonderful job describing the immense inferiority complex and pure soullessness of committing plagiarism, but the last stanza was what truly made me enjoy this poem. It gives those of us readers a bit of a fighting spirit--a chance to smirk and think "just you wait" (that sounded really dark...).

I truly enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing it!

Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I think the majority of the people writing about this topic has been given inspiration issued in the group we are all a part of that is all about challenging yourselves. I've been a victim of plagiarism before and it is not a respectable action. I say set the b******s on fire :D

[MusicManiac]

You're welcome :) It's a shame that bad things happen to good people.

Well I have read quite a few of this writings in past weeks and if they are pointed to one of our fellow writer I think by now he could have began to get a general idea of what most think of his actions. As for the Karma and Retribuition I would have hoped for he site to bann, have mentioned it before but it won't happen. I know that is not entirely in line with the concept of Karma but at least it would have shown some level of commitment to the other wirters. As it is all guilt free. If Karma did argue though it would probably ask: Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.

I woudn't

Thankyou

thank you for taking the time to review. I do not actually know the person who is stealing others writings. I was just challenged to write about the topic. I have had a few people tell me that someone is plagiarizing though and I do not approve! They better stay away from my work. I will set someone on fire :D

As a writer of the written arts almost nothing offends me more than someone who steals peoples work, I have always had to suffer through writers block and problems that I forced myself through as an author putting literally my blood sweat and tears in the process of finishing my work. I've never once considered plagiarism, because if I ever did it once, I couldn't be a true author. I love writing, I love reading, I love taking my time out of my day to tell my fellow artist that I think there work is good and for. Those who get praise for others hard work be damned they are scum and thieves and in my personal opinion should be charged the same way a person who steals any other object is. This is a great poem that brought out a lot of emotions in me after reading it one name popped into my head.

[Briana O'Connor]

I don't know who this person is, but i've heard a lot of people have been victim to this tragedy recently. All I know is they better stay away from my work I will set a fool on fire :D

[Malister Mikey]

He's name wa Chris D valiant or something like that

[Briana O'Connor]

has nobody reported him?

[Malister Mikey]

He was caught there was a big story on it called Tryst with a plagiarist

[Briana O'Connor]

good serves him right

[Arrinae]

Indeed we do lurk waiting to catch those who would dare steal the work we filled with our hopes and dreams. Karma is a rule not many in this world live by, regardless of how its comes to haunt them in life. It is a rule I live by.

This was well written and quite truthful. I don't have any real critisim to give. The structure was sound and the words flowed well. The emotions behind it are real and felt. Well done. Thank you for sharing.

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you very much for your kind words
