I'm a writer, and most of my stories always start with dialogue. Is this bad? A lot of people have said don't start with dialogue, and most books I've read don't. But I'm really confortable with starting with dialogue. Do you find stories annoying or bad if they start with dialogue?

I am writing a book on my beliefs about a particular characteristic of human nature with material I believe to be new and unique to anything ever spoken about by other authors. My question is if I happen to touch upon something that someone else spoke about before myself in my writing (unbeknownst to me) would using their idea constitute plagariasm? If I am responsible how am I suppose to search millions of volumes or text to successfully cite those ideas? In summation am I responsible for others ideas if I am unbeknowst to them or it is extremely impractical to go about discovering them? Is there a process that authors go through to screen their ideas to see if they owe credit to a previous author? Please respond with thorough and detailed answers..

I seemed to grasp most of it, but there are some lines I'm not sure what the poet meant. For example : All is black, crispy.
What was the poet trying to describe?

Here's the poem. Please let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

Cry of the Wolf {Free Verse}

I hear the cries,
they make me shiver
I smell the bodies burning
the night's aglow
a sickly yellow
shadows writhing
men are dying
I hear the cries,
they make me shiver
Love is lost
my life's the cost
I hear the cries,
they make me shiver.
All is black, crispy
a fetid corpse's breath
I hear the cry of the wolf
his name is
man.
