Writing a Folk Song 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.
