Screw You
Plagiarists Fuck Off Poem
You know what? Screw you!
You took what wasn’t even yours.
Do you think I don’t know?
I see you as something to abhor.
🖕
You know what? Screw you!
You perverted that which was pure.
Do you think you were slick?
I see your actions as immature.
🖕
You know what? Screw you!
You stole from me my creative joy.
Do you think you are smart?
I see you think writing is just a toy.
🖕
You know what? Screw you!
You performed literary rape of my words.
Do you think your glory will last?
I see your way as the cowards.
🖕
You know what? Screw you!
You messed with the wrong writer.
Do you think you are wise?
I will see you in hell, 'cause I’m a fighter!
🖕
You know what? Screw you!
You lied to gain praise and honor.
Do you think rules don’t apply to you?
I swear to you, you’re a goner!
🖕
You know what? Screw you!
You better not scoff.
Do you not see you are caught?
All I have to say to you is Fuck Off.
🖕
🖕
🖕
They take and they steal
Plagiarizing what is not theirs
A thief of stories
🖕
Your happiness took
Robbers of the written word
Absorbing your joy
🖕
Cloning your hard work
And claiming it as their own
With no guilt at all
🖕
I wish you’d fuck off
Vocal’s not the place for you
Screw you, Copycat!
🖕
🖕

Author’s note: I was working on another piece, but got sidetracked with this one. I wrote this for all the plagiarists flooding Vocal and stealing other creators’ content, posting it as their own. I’ve been reporting cloned stories today; hence the inspiration for this piece.
Another good piece to read:

Good for you, M C! They can F off and get the hell off Vocal! Congrats on the Leaderboard too! We all report when we see, but sometimes we don't know it was stolen…
Gotta love a rage poem! Completely justified anger. I hope the plaigiarists are ashamed of themselves!
I just saw this link in Paul's poem and HAD to read it. So glad for the opportunity! You've captured the essence of so many, how it NEEDED to be said. Thank you so much, and like Paul's poem, let's plaster this EVERYWHERE!!!
A powerfully deep-worded poem.
The first one is particularly strong M Combs and catchy! Excellent message. Just be on the lookout casually and get others to too. Not a fun feeling to have one’s joy snatched! Keep at it!
Woohoo, go MC!! Love that this got second most popular story of the week!! 🎉
Way to tell em MC. Don't let them take your joy. Not everyone can write content well, get your BP down, They sure got the message, You go mc.
Congrats on an excellent piece and on Leaderboard! Way to go, you! :)
Wooohooooo congratulations on your Leaderboard placement! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Congratulations on the Leaderboard win!!!🥰🥰🥰
Omg, is that happening too, here? I mean people steal other writer's work too? I mean I agree with you on this one... Some people out here cheat and bring stories that aren't written by them, And I'm like; what the hell are we putting so much effort and these clowns are just copy-pasting from AI?? Btw, what do you have to say about the 'AI-generated' option here? I feel so stupid myself just to see people upload AI content. So! From my side too; Truck Them 🤝
Hear hear! Thought I had read this...but hadn't. Glad I got reminded to come back to it by your leaderboard placement, congrats on that! love love love the intent and follow through on this poem. Love your very carefully chosen, pointed and impactful words. Plaigarists can indeed, fuck right off!
It's INFURIATING
Love this!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thank you!!! I thought I was the only one noticing it. I be like...this story sound way to familiar. Sometimes I be letting the originators know...and I hate it when it be personal stories too….(like ain't no way y'all both experience the same grief in the same way) 🙄🙄😡😡 sorry I had to vent. Anyways excellent poem…Couldn’t had said it better myself. 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow... So sad that this is a thing. Thank you for doing what you do!💗💕💗
Raw and authentic!!! Loving it!!!❤️❤️💕
You couldn’t have said it any better. Thanks for all the work you do in ViM. It’s much appreciated.
Vocal should really up their moderation game. They just let anyone publish anything and it sucks!
Where are the posts showing the plagiarism? I’m curious now. And, I don’t blame anyone for being upset when their work is stolen in such a manner.
Thank you Mother! For both taking the time to police the site and to show the thieves where they can stick it!💯 🤩
Love the passion and angst in this!! Not your usual work but I appreciate it all the same!!
💖 Speak on it Mother! 💪🏾
BRAVO ...BRAVO It shocked me the first time AI saw my piece plagerized, the second time I was pissed. A little trick, when you see that the person has only been on Vocal for two months ( Or less) and have over a hundred stories plus, it becomes a little suspicious and very apparant. How that sneaks by baffles me.
Got to agree with every word you say. There are tools that could be used to stop them but they arent , Vocal expect us to police the publications , excellent work
