  2. Thank you April, I am so glad you are warning people! All of the victims of her extortion demands who have innocently shared her poem because they thought it meant something, only to be called thieves and harassed for money need to come forward and be heard! Spread the word and save your friends and loved ones grief! BEWARE! DO NOT SHARE THE DASH POEM!
