You took my words Made them your own Didn’t give me credit Or even throw me a bone The lack of ethics on full display Front page news The headliner today (Make this a safe place to be For a writer to feel free) Plagiarism : to copy and pass off (the expression of ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's work) without crediting the source From the Latin word plagiarius meaning“kidnapper”.

Posting or copying other people’s work and taking credit for yourself is wrong. The ransom you pay is your ethics...maybe more
