A Call to Arms Haiku
And A DECLARATION of WAR Free Verse
Thievery Abounds
Vocal Does Not Protect Us
We Will All Fight Back

When I wrote this story 👇 on 5/7......
......I promised more
I have so much more.
But then others started telling me their tales
So many friends helped tear away more veils
It's astounding
It's appalling
It's a mauling
Creeps are crawling everywhere
In our hair
It's a N i g h t m a r e
We're caught in their snare
We grow ever more suspicious of everyone
The amount of their malicious weights a ton
⚡_________________ ⚡
Since I wrote my story
It's gotten even more gory
The attacks on me seem relentless
Persistent
Consistent
I see them👀👀⚡🌩️
I know them for what they are
So let them come!
I won't run!
I may be human~~
~~but I have more creativity than any bot can match
I will fight, I will lay bare, I will catch
🌩️ This Shall Not Stand 🌩️
Together, we will band
My spirit isn't disturbed by this
I won't fall into their abyss
There are reasons for my delay~~~
~but I'm hard at work on my next expose
I'll be back another day...
Soon.
Stay Tuned!

Lately, I'm empty
Lately, I feel an emptiness inside of me that doesn’t make any sense. I was fine a week ago and now I’m numb to the pain that I’ve been carrying around. Numb to the idea of me existing. I wish I could go to a place where I can hear happy positive thoughts and surround myself with joy. The medication I’m on doesn’t seem to work anymore. I still feel pain from existing, why am I here anyways? Merely to exist. I don’t feel like I’m making any differences being here.

congratulations on top story- loved the rap feeling of the poem
Yess indeed 💯 and congratulations on top story.
I found this truly intriguing. Good work.
Beautifully crafted.
wow nice
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
I haven't been on Vocal for a couple of years, so I am new to this whole situation (though I am not surprised bots have invaded). I don't plan to stop writing, but what else can I do to help?
very attractive!!
TOP STORY! HELL YEAH
Congrats on Top story but, the picture reminds me of YOU!!! XD
Congratulations on the Top Story! 🥳
Banding together is the only way we will be able to fight this. I've been saying this the whole time. I'm so glad to see more people coming together to fight this now, rather than just the few of us that were.
My spirit isn't disturbed either because my art needs a home, and I refuse to let any amount of thievery push me away.
It's going to take us all reporting the spam and all of the stolen content. I hope Vocal is trying to protect us.
Thanks for staying strong and not giving up! I'm really turned off writing for Vocal right now, but people like you fighting for us is keeping me going!
I still can't believe we're doing Vocal's job for them. Looking forward to your next expose!
Well said! 🤺
Yes we must stay together. I messaged and reported vocal, only later get a message asking for my top story link since then nothing at all. I am shocked 🤷🏼♂️
Excellent fighting talk and it is what me must do, but I do hope Vocal and Facebook give us a helping hand
Ah this is great mate! I love the fact we are banding together over this. We could call it the 'Vocalite Revolution' or something. I've already served my guy with a cease and desist letter and he's shitting himself. I've posted it on each one of his stories and emailed it to Vocal so they have a copy. But I am so happy that everyone is coming together over this! Also I have never heard that 'Fight Song' before, that is quite fitting!
