Plagiarism

by Pragun aged 12

I feel like writing a poem
But I don’t have any good ideas.
I’ll copy one of my friend’s poems
And submit it online as my own.
I know it’s called Plagiarism and
It’s unethical to copy someone
Else’s poem, but who’ll find out?
Nobody’s going to know I did so.
Except for my friend if he finds
Out and me obviously. So I go
online and go to the webpage
Where I had to submit the poem.
Then I realized that it’s a bad
Thing to plagiarise. So I do the
Next best thing. I gave the credit
To the person who wrote it,
And submitted it after adding
Some more lines to the poem.
I also quoted those copied lines
So that those who see it know
I’m innocent and only indulge
In ethical activities.
