Thief of Words

With practised ease he scans the page absorbing all he reads objectifying everything assimilating needs. Redistributed word and line subliminally home grown presented as original reference unknown. The metal of another forge he promotes as fire grown this counterfeiting wordsmith without anvil of his own. Displaying mediocre wares he prostitutes the art successful in his larceny oblivious to heart. For words are words and lines are lines the plagiarist can’t see the life expended searching for originality.
