Oh, man you are so wise, you’re always right;
You always speak the truth and what is right.
You taught me your culture, I have to blend,
I’m scared but tried to live for what is right.
You sang the oldest songs I hate to hear,
My ears are wanting bad for what is right.
You pulled me and asked me to dance with you,
You knew that music’s off, it is not right.
You held me close to you, I have no chance,
To see, to hear, to speak for what is right…
You always speak the truth and what is right.
You taught me your culture, I have to blend,
I’m scared but tried to live for what is right.
You sang the oldest songs I hate to hear,
My ears are wanting bad for what is right.
You pulled me and asked me to dance with you,
You knew that music’s off, it is not right.
You held me close to you, I have no chance,
To see, to hear, to speak for what is right…
Ghazal
A Ghazal is a poem that is made up like an odd numbered chain of couplets, where each couplet is an independent poem. It should be natural to put a comma at the end of the first line. The Ghazal has a refrain of one to three words that repeat, and an inline rhyme that preceedes the refrain. Lines 1 and 2, then every second line, has this refrain and inline rhyme, and the last couplet should refer to the authors pen-name... The rhyming scheme is AA bA cA dA eA etc.
