It is not always easy to distinguish between song and poetry. When lyrics become a popular form of music it becomes a song and when these lyrics are saved for the intellectual few to analyse and be intellectually shred into pieces, it becomes a poem. poems most of the time have a didactic purpose and is generated out of a social, political, geographical setting by an intellectual few who tries to capture a popular feeling, thought that runs across as a common thread among the people of that time. Though songs have origins in some of these aspects they are not always didactic nor do they appeal to an intellect in the "intellectual sense" though sometime the rage and anger of an age is better expressed through a language of extravagance than a language of quite sober elegant mourning.
A poem becomes a song when you add a melody to it, and someone sings it. If it's a poem, and it's regularly spoken, then it's not a song. A song is defined by the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary as, "a short musical composition of words and music."
because song is poem is poem and that's that's so should i be this confused?
