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 applaud your stand on this and am saddened that this poetic offense has managed to touch you. But what is really sad is...you see one rat, there are many more hiding behind the walls just waiting to grab whatever we leave lying around. Good luck with your fight.
