Intellectual Property

We fight so much to preserve little meaningless things like who reads the papers first and who opens the magazines.

Yet, so many of us contribute to the demise of creative artistes as they fight their battles to preserve what is their rights of ownership. And how comfortable are we with the growing tendency for the criminality among the very young

 

Intellectual Property

I get upset when people beat me to my magazine

Not because I think they‘ll leave it unclean

There is that feeling of violation from being the first

Every time it gets me like an unquenched thirst

Life gives us opportunities to be that special one

Like painters, photographers and a lyricist’s song

Each one unveils that piece they’ll create

Constructed uniquely that we’ll appreciate

Then someone comes and makes a copy

Unleash it to the masses as a perfected facsimile

And its creator is robbed of that ownership seal

Lots of copies flood the market with indiscreet appeal

Professional artistes lose rampantly each day

Rights of ownership are stripped and cast away

Outlaws can now be a kid in its room

Pirating movies and songs is the new business boom

Ecommerce has made theft a great ease

Royalties are lost and creators become displease

The failing artist can no long create their artistry

You rob us when you steal Intellectual Property
