I had no idea how important this poem was becoming until I went online in 1996 and found it all over the net. I'll go on nationwide live TV and take any lie detector test and pass it, and I dare her to do the same. If she registered this poem with her name as author she lied and she is a thief and plagiarist. Always were and always will be, as God is my witness. There is such great frustration in trying to convince people that I'm not a plagiarist, stealing other's work, as was done to me.
Nothing can change that.
It's worth it.
