Plagiarism

By Rosemea MacPherson

Artists create, they don’t regurgitate
they don’t copy someone else’s work
True creativity, true art, thru ones observation
of reality, their eyes, their senses,
and comes out after much elaboration.
 
 
Sometimes art takes years to crystalize,
inside one’s heart to come to fruition,
even to the conscious mind of the artist
who wants to put them on paper, canvas,
the artists then, wants - Recognition.
 
 
There are writers, musician, photographers
who want talk years to better their craft.
And others, with no talent, will copy
and sign if they it was their own
just to pretend they are artists too
because on their own they have no ideas to show.
 
 
They are thieves, who just get ideas to publish on the Internet
they are thieves indeed, because they get no benefit
and no one gets enriched, they don’t make a profit,
except the liars who are lunatics, if you look at them carefully
their work shows that all they do is cheat.

 
It takes maturity, age, discernment
that obviously comes from a mature mind
the lenses of a camera viewed thru someone ‘s eye
a cheater in a hurry to get recognized,
forgets to give credit for what is plagiarized.
 
 

I open my eyes and watch for those types
I am tired of people getting an idea from me.
I will take them to court, and they will have to compromise
and give to me what, had always been mine.
