Accused and Lost...

Accused of "Lifting a Passage Wholesale"
I'm Lost

Should I have just kept my mouth shut and taken the marks given to me
or Do what I did?
Speak up and Now face a possible loss of all my marks or even worse
I don't Know
My Head says I should have just Shut Up
But my heart says its all about Principle

I did not Copy that Passage
I did not Copy that Passage
I did not Copy that Passage

I admit to failing to reference my Information sources
Fault me for That.........
But Don't Accuse me of Copying!

Its General Knowledge
But to them its Specific Knowledge
Even though the same information is available on more than 1 source online
I know, I Searched, I Read!

Now the waiting Game Starts
Flashback of getting Charged
All over again

What a Bad Day!
I am Truly Done with Science
Time for a New Chapter!
