Part 5- Write an original literature
piece responding to social problem
People
die, all the time
Work
to stay alive-
What
a crime.
People
get sick, trying to put up with it
They
all work and cry, until they die
If
they could get the medicine and pills, they need
Then
they wouldn’t be left alone, to bleed
Why
in the world can people not have it
Healthcare
is something everybody needs,
The
medicine is what can answer your plea
So
why can people not get it for free-
That
is my question
Response
to Song
I
started off by thinking- what is a problem in this country that affects
thousands of people, and that our government (at the moment) is treating
poorly. As I was brainstorming, it came to me immediately: health. Healthcare
is incredibly expensive and so many people cannot afford to buy the medicines
they need to keep themselves healthy. It is unfair. I did some research and
found that (estimated by Harvard) 45,000 people die without health care
insurance. That immediately gave me the urge to write that in the first lines
of my song, so the reader wants to learn more, because he/she is shocked. And
then I tried to come up with words like bloody to make my song seem more
dramatic. The end is supposed to make the reader understand that these people want
and need healthcare, but they cannot get it, just because they do not have the
money.
