STEAL ME STEAL ME

COPY MY WORDS

Steal me steal me

I'm just a bit of verse

Steal me steal me

My author will not curse

You for doing so

He knows you are just a thieving little shit

So get on with it

Though you might like to heed his advice

Given you cannot be so nice

As to credit another's work

The effort you shirk

Is nothing compared to the incivility

Of non attributable piraticicity

But this advice is free in any case it is

Best that you take it

Do what you may with it

Artificial Intelligence

A blessing to those shits

Without sufficient wit

To wit

To aspire to authorship

You just have to feed a text string

Ask it to write just about anything

And you will get it on a plate

To use as your click bait

You then no longer have excuse

Be you ever so obtuse

To steal these words and misapply them

Yourself to glorify

Or just to add a few more pointless hits

Just like thousands of other

Clickerbaiting shits

    This is absolutely cracking - i found myself cackling even as I felt the anger.

    I like how this opened with an incantation, with a mocking. Then it developed it's poetic voice. There is also something quite humours. Maybe even devious. Begging the person to steal this and copy your words. Ultimately, if they did that. They would be stealing a warning. It would make them look even worse. I love it. This was clever. 'artificial intelligence' a blessing to those sh*ts'. I bet it is. They don't have to sweat and bleed like us Infront of the screen. Worrying if anyone will be able to understand our words and exactly what we were going for. Getting the words, rhymes and beat right. Takes hard work, not to mention the writers block. They are taking the piss for sure. All they can do is add a few more pointless hits. I feel this in my bones, the frustration is real. Fantastic work Raymond 🤗❤️

    Sometimes if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. That is just the state of humanity.

    Some powerful words here, Raymond. Someone specific pissed you off?

  • A. J. Schoenfeld4 months ago

    We can always count on you to speak the truth and frustrations we are all feeling. And this one was particularly humorous and enjoyable to read!

  • Kendall Defoe 4 months ago

    Too much truth not to laugh at.

  • Sandy Gillman4 months ago

    This made me laugh but also hit hard with truth. 👏

  • My Plagiaristic Poetry series is about borrowing others' words, and in this digital age, it is very easy to plagiarise and steal, but real talent doesn't. Excellent if slightly dark words
