On plagiarism...


Someone has plagiarized my original poem...sad to say. Shucks...word for word. Really this is an offensive act against me or any writer per se. If you create something out from your mind...extracting every emotions and ideas therein to be able to present something for a special one, then somebody will just copy it and present it to be hers, duh! Will it always be blamed on the ignorance of certain ethics...or the never ending who cares or the shrugging off the shoulders or a mere smirks we'll get? Or shall we say that...have the decency naman to acknowledge whose work it is.

Plagiarism - the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.
