A Plagiaristic Poem Stolen From A Magazine
An Experiment In Cut And Paste Ransom Note Plagiaristic Poetry
This is an experiment in cut and past and ransom note plagiaristic poetry. It does not make much sense but it does roughly rhyme and has a consistent number of syllables per line.
I took the challenge from Steve Wheeler / Invisible Poets here in the Facebook Poetry Society.
So here is the poem in plain text but you can see what it turned out like in the main picture.
None of these words are mine but I cut them out and arranged them. Does that make me a thief and a plagiarist? Remember every word we write in our poetry or fiction has been used before, as well as many phrases too. I will leave you to pass judgement on me.
The music is "Cut Me Down" by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions which is sort of appropriate

If India and Pakistan went nuclear, what would be the impact?
Tensions in Kashmir, fueled by the repeal of Article 370, lead to increased violence and Pakistan's involvement in supporting militant groups. China sees an opportunity to establish supremacy at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). ๐ณ๏ธ๐ฅ Pakistan and China launch a two-front attack on India, with Pakistan invading from the west and China from the east. India, prepared for this scenario, goes on the offensive against Pakistan while defending the LAC. ๐๐ฎ๐ณ Despite initial setbacks, India pushes back against Pakistan using its superior military strength. China, realizing the situation is not in its favor, withdraws support, leaving Pakistan alone. ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ๐ณ Faced with a losing conventional war, Pakistan's military leadership convinces interim Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakar to prepare for a nuclear strike against India. โข๏ธ๐ฃ Pakistan's options for launching nuclear weapons are limited due to India's naval presence and air superiority. The Shaheen 2 medium-range ballistic missile becomes Pakistan's primary choice. ๐ India detects Pakistan's nuclear preparations and readies its missile defense systems, including the Pradyumna Ballistic Missile Interceptor (PAD) and Ashwin Ballistic Missile Interceptor (AAD). ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ก๏ธ As a last resort, Pakistan launches a nuclear attack targeting New Delhi and other strategic locations along the India-Pakistan border. India's missile defense systems intercept many of the missiles, but some still reach their targets. โข๏ธ๐ฅ In retaliation, India launches a devastating nuclear counterattack, targeting Pakistan's major cities and military installations. Pakistan's leadership is wiped out, and its nuclear launch sites are destroyed. ๐ ๐ The nuclear exchange leaves both countries devastated, with millions of casualties and widespread destruction. India, though severely impacted, retains more of its command structure and military capabilities. ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐ค In the aftermath, India focuses on securing Kashmir, reinforcing its defenses against China, and managing the diplomatic consequences of the nuclear war. ๐๐ผ

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

It makes you profoundly creative, Mike.
Oh my goodness! I wish I had your brain! You're soooooo creative! I love how they rhyme! You did a fantastic job!
It's different! I like the concept and from attempting something similar myself, I know this isn't easy.
That was unique and creative!!! Left a โฅ
