In your pen and ink
your plagerism unbound
noted works from past inventor's
thoughts, or some other abstruse
metaphysical format
for idea created to change
to shape
or to give life to
reside your evils
up and into your breath
screamed and shuddered
amplified through mics--

and their very impact
is not your own
through your painful attempt
to woo the masses
your papercut words

or someone else's hard-earned gorings.
