Question

Pretend that you are a folk artist. Write the lyrics for a song describing an issue that is near and dear to your heart. This can be constructed in poetic form. Convey the message in a way that is positive, enlightening, and helps provide a solution. You may choose to make a list of problems that you are concerned about first–this will help you to identify your song better. Also, write down the list of problems in your attempt. Who knows, maybe someone will create the music for it and your problem will come to the forefront in the political arena.

Answer 1

Filled with gorgeous red roses,

Huge smiles on every face,

The lights are out, the wind is singing the most beautiful lullaby.

The trees are laughing their heads off,

Digging to reach the Earth's heart,

Running out of space for more graves.

Happy sky is crying out its tears,

Numbers just continue pilling up,

How many goodbye's are left to say?

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not my original but i changed it to go along with the task. Plz let me know if it turned out good. The poem is basically referring to the corona virus and how many deaths it has caused. There is a lot of figurative language and irony so do not take the poem the wrong way.

Answer 2

Please tell me why no one cares when we cry

No second glances as you pass us by

Aren’t I a person too?

Just because we’re different, doesn’t mean we’re not here

Hidden on the inside, and frozen with fear



We just want to be free and not have to worry

About the danger we face, being who we’re meant to be

Can’t you hear us crying? Can’t you see us dying?

Just be nice to the ones not like you

Living is all we’re trying to do

We here now to stay, we aren’t going away

You can help us to not be afraid


Please can you try to be there when we cry

A few kind glances as your passing us by

We are all people you see

Ask what its like to be different. Different like me





This is not my best work lol I just threw it together

I tried to make the ending happy but it’s hard to be positive about the subject I decided to write about.

The hate that the Lgbt+ community is still strong. It is still illegal to be lgbt in many countries. In some of the States, it is legal to use someone’s sexuality/gender identity as a defense for m*rdering a person. H0mophobic environments/ family members are the cause for many lgbt su*cides.

Many of us live in fear and shame of who we are. This is not okay. This is a problem. We need to fix it.
