A Poem by Coyote Poetry
Can you truly protect your words and art. 
Copy and paste…
New world my brothers and sisters writers and artist.
Computers are running the world.
Are the words and artwork secure and safe?
No.
I do like the Bob Dylan quote.
“If you are going to steal my work. Please re-write it better.”
I read the ancient writers. I will borrow a phrase to expand my thoughts
and poetry. By reading one book weekly for most of my life. I have learn.
Every words had been written by someone or somewhere in time.
We need to protect our work. Each of us with different thoughts and views.
I like the reader from other countries beside the USA. They tell stories and legends
of old places. I believe we need to write to expand knowledge and teach.
I’m not offended by reading or hearing my work being spoke and sang.
At least someone thought I was worthwhile to repeat.
Copy and paste. Today many sites are allowed to re-blog your work.
I’m honored when someone re-blog my work. Allowed my words to be expanded.
I do re-blog words and art that is powerful, beautiful and had purpose.
Always give credit to the artist or painter.
I have been asked often this week. How do you expand your poetry and artwork
to more people. Easy answer. Network, network and network some more. Easy to receive
help if you are kind and read and review others. Respect and friendship is earned.
I recommend back-up with paper and disc. Leave record of the birth of words or art.
Use the copyright laws to your advantage.
I like what Dryden wanted. He wanted writers to write. Write, write and write some more.
Write about love and hate. Pain and pleasure. War and peace. God and the devil.
Make the tire mind of the reader come alive and take the them to better places.
Words need to dance and sing. Artwork need to make the eyes grasp beauty, sadness and places.
“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.”
Khalil Gibran
Thank you for reading. Writer write. Dreamer dream. We must travel, test life and have fun.
A artist must know the sweetness and the dirtiness of real life to create.

One reason I don’t like you, John is because you don’t allow Mo’s comments. He’s got your number, huh? Welp, looks like you’re the proverbial dog turd on the lawn, pal. Better remove your likes from Steven’s blog or we’re gonna have to get Daemontine to nard you like she promised.

You folks have some personal problems. Can’t remove. Mr. James. Don’t know where. I read 300 poems and stories a day. There are better use of you time than to worry if someone liked a poem. Save the sea, save yourself. Have some fun.

Right and the people in the group who are females saw your like and they took a look at your work, to see who was advertising on Steven’s blog. When they read your work they decided en masse you are a sexist creep. You tried to tell them how much you loved and respected women but you didn’t actually show them any. You failed to move them with your feigned sincerity. They tied to see you as an old man who just doesn’t get it, but that’s part of the problem. Old men who don’t get it. You don’t care about what they think or how they feel. You might say you do, but you don’t show it. You were asked not to “like” Steven because we do not want women thinking we think you’re “cool” because you’re not. You have a lot of learning to do in both writing and in respect for others. This is your hard lesson, but it’s yours. We are not the problem due to being impolite or lacking classiness as you told Steven. We object to superficiality and your arrogance. We welcome readers, but we don’t keep followers as we remove them often. You can not rob us of our virtue by pressing down on us. You enhance it. I hope you have removed your likes or that you will finally just shut the fuck up now. We’d like to be done with you.

You asked, I answered. Your insults are meaningless to me because I don’t care what you think. Try it sometime. Release yourself from your own ego. Stop acting like the women you write about. Stop throwing yourself away. Thanks for taking your likes off of Steven’s blog. That’s a good boy. You get the biscuit for that. Peace, yo.

Ok John, but my friends have asked you not to network with us, so please take the time to remove your likes from my blog. That would mean a lot to me. I would be really grateful if you’d please do that. I’m not trying to be famous or go viral. I don’t need tons of likes or my stuff reblogged to feel validated. Please remove your likes from my space.

I don’t know your network and I don’t care about your network. I don’t bully people. If you don’t want people to read your work. Don’t post the work. If you post the work. On WordPress poetry. It showed-up and can be read by all people. Have a great day. Take a walk, find something worthwhile to do.

John, you’re being totally disrespectful to me now. It’s reasonable for me to ask you to remove your likes. That you’ve decided you can’t figure out or won’t is wrong of you. You didn’t properly introduce yourself to any of us. You’ve not listened to anyone, you just pressed down what you wanted. I didn’t say not to read it. I said don’t tag my work. I have removed you from my followers. We are all doing that. You have not been bullied. You are the bully. So you know what? Eat shit, John. And choke on it.

Yes, I am the bully. Maybe you need to find the meaning of a bully. A polite response. Very classy. I didn’t say anything negative. Name calling. First time since 3rd grade, I have seen said or written. Have a good life. This is a site for many. Try to find something, you can enjoy.

You don’t understand what happened at all John. Stop making things up. We find you to be false and low. “Classy” has nothing to do with it. “Polite” has nothing to do with it. When someone says you stepped on their foot and the person replies, you shouldn’t have put your foot there and tries to blame you instead of taking the blame, they are being arrogant and disrespectful. You are arrogant and disrespectful. Leave us alone.
