Plagiarism is ideas stolen
by those who see fortune
out of the talent of others
even without due courtesy
to the author of the product
be it in the form of an artistry
or just a mere innovative idea
that can make a difference in life
People have different levels of intellect
some are passive while others inventive
those in authority become opportunists
take credit the work of the subordinates
and brag it as their own to get promoted
while the author is left out like a stupid
even pulled down and discredited as bad
are realities that destroy human decency
Good for the few who fight for their rights
who knew of the legal process of security
sorry for others who remain reluctant
to voice out their indignation of the act
of plagiarism getting as trend at present
as though it becomes as skill in robbery
many now engage to gain without effort
please stop doing it indulge on your own
I agree with Sunprincess. if any of my idea is stolen I'll feel lucky that i possess such idea. but as per our indian mythe every thing is old only it transforms as per ages. but your sharp mind has revealed such a great secret that after reading the person will feel ashamed to copy n paste or steal the idea.
right.. a good thought for poets and writers... need to protect also by everybody.......
Excellent title suiting your words pieced together with great comments by all. Nicely written I say well done tooo!
A novel idea in interpretation of the kind. The structure of the poem is another attraction. Well done Marvin Brato.
Beautiful write. Its very true said, one should not indulge in plagiarism. The original poem was written by the poet with much effort and one spend lot of time on it...but stealing others idea in a minutes is not good. one should not do it...A thoughtful poem.

I would like to translate this poem
Ideas hang in the air... Many may be having the same idea. I wonder if an idea dwelt on by some one, if produced in different words and style by another will become plagiarism? If it is a uniqe idea and if we borrow it without acknowledgement, then it becomes a serious violation! ! I believe, plagiarism is something graver than all these, Marvin! This poem of yours has succeeded in voicing your moral indignation in powerful language! !
