Ode To the Pirates

pirates,

please keep on pirating---

please continue to steal the work of these crying little babies,

the “artists” who whine when their “work” is taken &

not paid for,

because one less jacuzzi for them is a free ride for us & it is

a beautiful, wondrous thing!

 

watching the record industry panic &

the movie industry shat their pants because the internet provides for

FREE

all of that which we once

were raped for as consumers

is

gorgeous!

 

pirates, keep on pirating!

 

for with you,

one sails in the only real ocean of freedom

whereby those that should get no more praise than the

gas station attendant,

or the garbage man

(much less, a nurse or a teacher!!!),

finally have to close their mouths & wipe their arrogant tears

understanding that

their “artistry” is no more important than anything the

rest of us do.
