Recently I’ve discovered how distasteful I find in others who have been taking what is laid out bare before the world for free, the artistic bleeding of ones life experiences only to have other apathetic people lacking any heartbeat or conscious; steal such experiences, repackage them, market them in their own words and even worse, sell them for monetary gain via books of their claimed copyrighted materiel. I’m sure these soul-less people who pretend to bleed from a false past suffrage, laugh all the way to the bank with blood money they rationalize as hard earned. I offer them no pity and I’m sure the wrath they’ve earned- won’t either.

email me if you wish. poetofthelight5@gmail.com If you chose to attack me, I reserve the right to presume you don't exist and unworthy of a retort, or I may just write you and your ignorance out of my mind. ;-) Truth be told~ I’ve no idea what kind of writer or poet I am, how good or how bad really. In this day and age it seems, we sometimes get likes (feel obligated) because we liked someone work/art or message. I’m not keen to that concept, albeit I understand others might be trying to be supportive- within that gray area so as not to seem critical, to someone they perceive as a lessor learner. I tend to write from past experiences, (not all my own) and some are even new drafts of old versions of writes from a more modern view/voice or understanding. I enjoy being a tad provocative in the sense of stirring up ones emotions. I oft dismiss the mechanics because they tend to hinder realities honest and authentic voices conveying a truth, even if but their own. Reminding others in my message what having a loss feels like, traversing as a frail vessel adrift at on a sea of bitterness- alone or a new love acquired, and usually from a childish perspective. All writers have goals and many have entrenched agenda’s but for me, I have the need to write. Everything I write comes from my heart. I share them here, amongst those who might relate, might appreciate what is my style, my tone, my tragedy, my perspective, my naked vulnerability as whispers- from the scars on my heart. I like to think of myself as a high-wire balancing ambivert that can slip one way or another on the stretched tether of my heart whereas poetry serves as my balancing rod. Thank you for reading and your visit. Perhaps we will dance like love birds, to the same intertwining music as we delve in cryptic words on inked pages during our life's…song?

Having said “AMEN” to this, I realize that I have in the past taken copyrighted pictures for my blog…and did suffer the wrath of those people whose pictures they were! And speedily rectified the situation, too!

inadvertently making a mistake that is correctable is a far cry from claiming the work all together. If not my picture, I’ve always added at my copyright, it was for the poem only. In many cases the picture has no ownership copyright still- I’m remain honest.

Well, have I done wrong by reblogging—which did provide a link back to your original post?

Wrong, re-blogging is permitted, stealing another person work and claiming it as your own if vastly different and my point. I care not who shares my copyright work, I care when someone perverts it.

I know maggots like this who steal the work of others. Just after I started this blog I had to contact someone who had posted one of my poems word for word. When I confronted her she said, ‘oh, i thought I wrote that” Unfortunately, these people are everywhere.

It really makes me wonder often when I come upon a blog that seems to be doing this. There’s shit you read that seems super faked and that sucks because it ruins the rawness of the experience in blogging!!
I cant agree more with you on this. Flat out plagiarized work is a HUGE disgrace! Ive heard about this happening to artists where they are reported to about their work printed on shirts etc. without permission or credit!!!!! GAH!!! People who steal like that suck~and they know it. Some would say its a compliment and that your message is being spread but thats horseshit, spread your own message you pathetic cowards!!
Ooops, thats almost too raw to comment..but its true!

Imo, no complement require the dilution of the person or their work however a false analogy does for nefarious reasons they need to veil while seeking your ill-witted corporation. It’s more than a disgrace, its a crime, making them criminals. Thank you for your comment.

If there’s one thing I hate, its Greed.
The thing in my heart that dissolves the anger about this is that I know “every action has an equal and opposite reaction”

I agree… no one is above the standard they prescribe to others.
