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 :)

[Linda alexander]

Well penned, hopefully none will kill a writer by misunderstanding healthy growing on another writer without hurting each other as plagiarism, it is easy to blow a candle and you need much effort to light it again at times you may lose this candle it self fore ever, so act on the plagiarism not on the soul of the writer, I can be wrong in this perception but that is how I feel it may be because I naive to writing area

[Briana O'Connor]

Thank you for reading

[Linda alexander]

You welcome, take care

[Ashira Macy]

Yeah I certainly hope karma catches up with him and soon! To steal someone's work is more than just stealing a possession, it is taking a part of them. It is truly amazing that he has been going around for so long getting away with that.

[Briana O'Connor]

It tis why I dub him a d****e canoe! He's not even worthy of words that make sense! :D

[Ashira Macy]

Haha! You are so right!

[C. Rose]

I like the thought of writers lurking - that we hold each other accountable.
I like the juxtaposition of thriving and leeching.

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D

[BClancy]

Great poem! Plagiarism really is a terrible thing, and this poem really emphasizes it and shows why. Thanks for sharing it :)

[Briana O'Connor]

Thank you for reading :D

[Aprille]

Yep, I hate plagiarists,..I wonder what they are fighting for.. for me they are too insensitive and self-centered. They only think for themselves and what would they get from what they're doing. What a great poem Briana, this made my day. :)

[Briana O'Connor]

Well thank you :D Glad you liked it!

[Aprille]

You're very much welcome. :)

[Chris]

Karma is more than a mere attitude. You handled this subject of conscious thievery well

[Briana O'Connor]

Thank you :D

[Parimal Pratyush]

I think I know who you're talking about. I was shocked and hurt when a veteran cafe member enlightened me. This is a necessary attack on such people. Thank you.

[Briana O'Connor]

thankyou:D

[Sami Khalil]

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome....:).........

[Mayank]

no doubt, there are many such writers around the world... god damn them! The second stanza hit so hard..

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you so much for reading

[realmwriter]

Hmm, Is he even still on this sight? If so he should take a clue. As for the write, rather good I say. There is no place for people like this. Just boils me to think of being ripped off for someone else to get credit for what they didn't write.

[Briana O'Connor]

No he got deleted or deleted the profile himself. He's on other sites still, though. I actually wrote this for a challenge and found out about this d****e canoe after the thought. Thank you for the kind review.

[realmwriter]

Yeah well I saw him on a different friends profile and thought that he might still be on here, but she said the same thing you did. So I guess he finally got a clue. Good. Love d****e canoe by the way. I make words or phrases up too, all the time. Just whatever fits. You are most welcome.
