You would.
 A sullen goodbye.
  Intoxicating to the
    ear drums. But so long.
Nostalgic thoughts,
   alcoholic in your words.
     Deceiving, false, I want it
       all back.
My limbs will live in stupor,
    with you in my arms.
      A bottle of whiskey
        in my lips. 
My words suffice, intangible.
   Incoherent sentences.
     This is our lips intertwined.

You can feel it.

You can’t define it.

You can just describe it.

I shall not commit any act of plagiarism -Journalism Code of Ethics

Journalism students are trained to use the powers of pen to share news, ideas, even personal accounts and stories through journals, diaries, blogs or social networking sites. For most Journalism students, writing is a passion.

But in today’s world where everything is just a click away, copying ideas and even entire stories has become so tempting. Appropriating thoughts written by others has become so easy. Students have taken for granted the information available on-line. Most of them have practiced the art of copying others’ work. “Cut and paste” has become so convenient!

This act is called plagiarism. It is stealing and passing off the ideas or words or another as your own. It’s not just about “copying” and “borrowing”, but rather copying words or ideas without giving credit to the original source or writer.

Plagiarism is an act of fraud. Plagiarism is literary theft, and it is very prevalent now among students in the university. 

EXCUSES EXCUSES

There are various reasons why students plagiarize. 

*Deadline

Most of the time, students are rushing too many assignments that they are left with no choice but to copy other people’s work and ignore proper citation. To meet the deadline, students look for written outputs from books, newspapers, and the internet and then copy them without citing the sources, passing it off as their own.

*Techno Laziness

Students today can always surf the internet, copy the information, and instantly present a new one derived from an already existing source. 

*Intimidation

Some students think that the works of other are better than what they can produce. They are intimidated by the works they have read in books or seen online, thinking that the quality of their work is inferior. In the end plagiarism is the way to go to impress.

twisted my head
away from the harsh
reflection,
these shapes were not mine
they should not have been

there was something inside
that was not like outside,
without softness
without roundess
i was sharp, strong, hungry
lean and angry

but the forcing
gave nothing
but an elongated night
and dark circles, pale skin

the she who was me
was flowers and honey
instead.
