ORIGINALITY

I am a devotee

and I worship originality

I respect creation 

and the creator's psychology

my heart laments when people cheat

they copy ideas well known

and have nothing to claim as their own

they take undue credit

for achievements they haven't made

they commit utter fraud

and consider themselves great

there's beauty in novelty

which only a few can see

there's greatness in being original 

which only a few can be

the rest have mastered the art

of borrowing ideas

and using them thanklessly

an original anything

is better than mimicry

"be the first grade version of yourself

than a second grade version of someone else"

a wise person has said very rightly
