shameless ~ [//on plaigiarism//]

A Poem by katja

you would leave me mute
of my memories
& the gratuitous suffering
i've bled from my psyché
in a dark ink spill ~
each time you cut [& paste]
the names of my lovers
from the sighs on my tongue
to claim them
between
your soiled pages
*
sully [my] emotions
& rape thoughts
i've stripped to the bone
... denuded ...
i am vulnerable
when i stroke my deeds
& bare them to vultures
who pick shamelessly
at the carcass
of [stolen] experience
to violate the fragile balance
of signature punctuation
//
i do not waive the rights
to painful impressions
you stake under pretence
... laying siege to my words
to the syllables
which are the aum
of my catharsis ...
*
self-serving
self-righteous
an entitled thief
fashioning patchwork poetry
pilfered & perverted
as a means to an end
... i pity you, poor soul
poor of identity
broke of creativity
famished for attention
starved of honesty...

Your words have been read, and your voice has been heard.
I will warn you I have suffered much backlash and abuse on this subject but I will always stand up for what I believe is true and right. I will make no accusations against this poet that you came to confront, as I think you will do a fine job on your own, much as blue angel has. The people of the Cafe are good people and I am sorry they have to go through this yet again but I hope that they understand the seriousness of what is happening here and know that we will weather the storm.

I think you captured the essence of plagiarism here quite well. I do find the words you choose in this and in other works really adds to the flow and emotions evoked by reading..

A very articulate piece that sums up the real cost of having one's work stolen... it is so much more than just words that are taken.

I don't know the background to this, I gather something has happened on the site but I have been away for a while. I just enjoyed and appreciated this for the great piece of writing it is, a piece of writing that stands alone.

Powerful and sadly very common in this world where people assume they have right to share whatever they like and expect it to be free.

╰☆╮Whew, remind me to never get on your bad side. I haven't been very active on here in months due to school and stuff, so I have no idea what's happened, but I cannot stand plagiarists and they should be punished for their actions. Nice work getting the point across. Keep fighting the good fight, haha.╰☆╮

This is a well written piece that fills the reader with strong emotions toward a subject that should have never seen the light of day. Theft is theft, no matter how you look at it. Well done.

no problem!
This packs a punch and the message loud and clear....

What's happening on here?? I go away for a bit and it's all turned upside down. Friends have left and are upset. WC is a place for us story tellers and poets to be able to express ourselves as we feel best however there are some that choose to attack and make a mockery of real talent. Why would someone want to rip off someone elses work?

Nicely penned and bravo!

I absolutely love this. Told with class and hammers every nail in. Wonderfully written.

I will never be the mouse where plagiarism is concerned, no matter how much others object to those who speak out.

You have vast language skills and are a joy to read.
