(Birth Place: Earth)

What do you think this poem is about?

I'm Goona Copy

I’m surely gonna copy,
Be it poem, DVD or floppy,
And win Nobel Prize and trophy.

I will copy poets all
Whether they are big or small
Ya! No one can make me stop
Till I scale a fame’s highest top.

At the beginning of age
When God made men in his own image
He started this “Plagiarist” trend
Which I am not gonna end.

And what is creativity?
If not an ability to hide
a source of theft
with impunity.

When there is nothing
original under the sun,
Why should I copy not
and deprive myself of fun.

So I’ll copy them word by word
be they Pablo, Shakespeare or Wordsworth.
I’ll copy them from morn to evening
And would excel HITESH and Kipling.
Can you prove, they were not plagiarist,
And had not copy from some poet’s list.

You can inform FBI, KGB or CIA,
But I won’t stop my wanton ways.
And I will copy without shame,
Till I earn big name and fame.

I will copy till people start copying me,
And then and then only I will
give up this vice with glee.: -)

(This poem is a sequel to poem, “hay all you people that like to copy” written by Melissa Schreuder)

    funny but I'm sure it happens...I almost thought I had caught someone pliagarizing someone else in this site so I emailed the poet telling her someone posted her poem, same title, word for word! It turned out she had another username using a pseudonym and forgot she had posted the same poem earlier!

    I've never identified a copy yet -but - sometimes I wonder what's in my subconcience.

    Amusing subject. Launches a discussion, can a copy be better than the original? Yes, it can. Does it deserve as much credit as the original? No, tweaking takes less effort.
