#30: The Traditional Lyric

My Oh My
(What have we done)
My Oh My
(What have we done)
My Oh My
(Look what we’ve done)
My Oh My
(Look what we've done)


As I open the door
And walk the street
I can’t help what I see
And what’s looking at me

Unfortunate fame
From poverty
Causes much pain
It’s like death to me

The children are crying
It’s a sick disease
These doctors are lying
Someone help them please

To save the world
We start with ourselves
Look around you to see
Who needs some help
-Repeats 4x-

The animals’ home
There are no more
Just streets and mansions
No one can afford

The icecaps melting
The heat is intense
We must stop polluting
Or there’s no existence

So seek your neighbor
Tell your family and friends
Let’s band together
So there will be no end

To save the world
We start with ourselves
Look around you to see
Who needs some help
-Fades out-

#29: Alexandria's Baffling Burlesque

Out from the snow
And into the lights
When she stepped in the club
The mission ignites

Walking around
Hoping to see
A vision in sight
That would make her glee

They entertain her
As she pays them no mind
Eventually leaving
For the married man's time

He buys her a drink
As her cheeks are burning
Can't wait to get him out
Because her stomach is churning

They exchange numbers
As the club closes
He kisses her bye
Now her cheeks are roses

The next day she calls
Requesting time to chill
She knows it's wrong
But she loves the thrill

He gives her the run around
As she debates
If he's really worth it
And the perilous stakes

He decides to tell her
As his heart is in flux
To meet him at 6
Up the street at Starbucks

She meets him there
While enjoying the meal
She asks about his wife
And what's the deal?

He begans to talk
But his phone rings
He has to leave
So he gathers his things

She's hating the waiting
Her mind begins to roam
As he's pulling off
She's following him home

When she arrives at his house
There is a crack in the door
As she goes inside
She is very unsure

She sneaks down the halls
And sees someone she recalls
It is her best friend
With her man, and a ...(to be continued)

#28: Ghazal's Purpose

Never think that it can't happen to you
That's the reason why it happens to you

As an impoverish man living on the street
If you aren't wise, that can also be you

A naive woman dates a married man
Don't condemn because that can be you

The mentally retarded cannot tie his shoe
In 50 years, that can happen to you

A billionaire has money to share
With the right dreams, that can be you

Ma ismik wa Kayfa hal?
With enough lessons, speaking this will be you

No one really wants to hang around you
If only you were friendly, then they would flock to you

Need assistance on choosing a poem?
Then ask Will and he will tell you

#27: Summer's Black List

Oh wow, it's raining
You just left me here hanging
Trying to reason by explaining
How and why it happened that way
I really do want you to stay
But you turned your back and walked away
Because you believed him and not I
When I had a perfect alibi
Now, I'm here stuck asking why
The tables have turned on me
As fast as it did, we were happy
Now he picked you up and I'm lonely
Making this by far my worst tragedy.

#26: To The Honor Goes Epithalamium

For the stars have aligned
On this date and time
For the pair of you to become
Officially united as one

You sir, take her hand
And vow to lead as the man
Fulfilling all that's necessary
To ensure that she doesn't worry
Will promote positive reaction
To increase sustained satisfaction

You madam, please declare
That you and he must share
A bond that is commendable
In God's eyes, unbreakable
In man's view, unshakable
To any opposing force
That tries to knock you off course

So, those who are in support stand
To help me praise this woman and man
As they come together to be
Forever in holy matrimony

#25: The Faith of Rondeau

Hold on to faith, for it's not done
The doubts you have, we've all had some
As a lost boat in midnight's blue
His guiding light will lead you through
Trust and believe

During the times when you choose to run
He'll be there, urging you to come
But there is one thing you must do:
Hold on to faith

If it's the strength that you have none
And hopes and dreams you have shunned
There is a being that stays true
If you adhere, He will imbue
So stand tall; He has just begun
Hold on to faith

#24: Petrarchan's Prayer

O, horrible world of mine
Each day there is pain
For which I cannot regain
Strength to continue life's time
So, I shall end it here
But will my soul be at peace
No longer battling this beast
Forcing all my issues to disappear?
Or will it be worse than before
Causing me to scream
How I wish this was a dream
That I can awaken from to ignore?
Ah, this decision is too heavy to bear!
God, please, show me which choice to declare.
