I wish I could copyright my poems yet I did not pay a dime for reading ancient legends' Don't believe words could turn into coal or oil millions years after because life that could read these words may not last that long But metaphors are universal millions would use one way or the other whether I used them or not So one could not possibly copyright the metaphors any minor modification on the expression could easily dodge any infringement allegation So I let the words become imprints of time and space traveled any meaning or value more than words lies in your imagination copyright or not
