Poetry uses forms and conventions to suggest differential interpretation to words, or to evoke emotive responses. Devices such as assonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and rhythm are sometimes used to achieve musical or incantatory effect.

Music affect us subliminally not only through melody but also through the imagery and language potrayed in lyrics, many people today are fortunate to live in societies in which free speech and artistic license are basic rights.Song lyrics often use by media to spread message to listener or music lover sometimes it contain political, social, and economic themes as well as aesthetic elements.

His most endearing songs were powered by an infectious combination of passion and precision. As an MC, he could rattle out verses at what seemed like warp-speed, but those quickly spit syllables also managed to convey worldly pain and frustration. His pangs were tangible in his best rhymes.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2. Literature

Literature is one of the greatest creative and universal meaning in communicating the emotional, spiritual or intellectual concerns of mankind. Taylor (1981: 1) says that “Literature is essentially an imaginative act, which is an act of the writer’s imagination in selective ordering and interpreting life experience.” Literature is an art of living together communication language.

Without language there would be no literature.

Through language, it can manifest itself in the form of oral and written literature. Abrams

(1981) (in Selidik, 2013:1) Says “literature is seen as a means to convey a specific purpose, such as values or teachings to the reader”. The definition above, it means that literature is an art form both oral or written that contains values and other elements that are imaginative. Peck (1984 :41) in his book Literary Terms and Criticism says that, lyrics is “a poem in which the poet writes about his thought and feelings. The basic type is the song”.

It means that, the lyric as the type of poetry and the lyric as made by the song writer are the same, because the song is the type of the lyric, and nowadays the words content in a song called the lyric. It expresses the personal feelings of the one who wrote it, translated into words and word patterns that would effectively communicate those feelings.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2.1 Poetry

Poetry is the most considered and concentrated form of literature (perrine in Siswantoro,

2010: 23). Poetry as a genre has completely competition of using word. It does not give space to make free creation for the author because poetry has a solid competition and also concentracted.

Poetry useless word than the other literary words, but by less word a poem can explain more cases.

Poetry is one of the oldest form of literature. Poetry has also been an inseparable part of life that follows the development of civilization through time. The earliest work of literature ever known was in the form of poetry (Waluyo, 1995: 1). Poetry is the expression of ideas and feelings through a rhythmical composition of imaginative and beautiful words selected for their sonorous effects, Tomlinson,1999: 38).

There are five types of poems in particular. They are descriptive, reflective, narrative, lyric, and sonnet. Each kind has much common features thouh the difference is connected to form and style of expressing idea. Descriptive is a poem which describes people or experience, scenes or objects. Reflective poem is a thoughtful poem often containing a great deal of description which the poet comments on as form, upon which draws a conclusion. Narrative is a poem which tells a story. It tend to be longer than other types of poetry but it is comparatively easy to recognize the poet’s intension. Lyrics is the simplest form of poetry like song which usually the expession of mood or feeling. Sonnet is a poem of fourtee lines which follows every strict rhyme patterns.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2.2 Definition of Moral Value

A. Moral

Moral comes from Latin word “Mores”, it has meaning of custom and folkways. Moral behavior means behavior in conformity with the moral code of the social group. Moral development has both an intellectual and an impulsive aspect, people must learn what is right and wrong and given explanation of why this is right and wrong Hurlock (1985:386).

According to Barcalow (1994: 3), moral issues involve a way of behaving and having character, they are unavoidably coming in all shapes and sizes. Fundamentally, moral issues arise when the choice that people take will affect the good attitude of other by increasing or decreasing. For example, when other people are watching news in program television about criminal, it is can be a source to be more careful and getting on the ball with criminal.

Edward (1967:151) says, there are three kinds of motives which lead men to act morally, that is, to obey the moral rules of their society, enlightened selfinterest, respect for rules, and other regarding motives. Morals are the standards by which behaviours are evaluated for their morality

–their rightness or wrongness. Morality is something that must be owned by human because without morality human will not be respected by other people. They will be easy to socialize with people around them and will be accepted in the community. Someone who has moral should have the ability to consider good and bad behavior because no one can live without other person.

B. Value

Value (ethic) is a person principle or standards of behavior. Value is important to social human. Its can described as treating actions . Pepper (1958:7) stated that values is everything

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA about good or bad. According to Kluckhohn (1951:399) values as concepts that regulate

“impulse satisfaction in accord with the whole array of hierarchical, enduring goals of the personality and sociocultural system for order, the need for respecting the interests of others and of the group as a whole in social living”.

C. Moral Value

Moral is a knowledge that involved a human character within cultured, always associated with values, but not all values are moral values can be said as a rule in society life that used as guidelines in daily activity or life. It concern with a right or wrong relationship of people with each other. Based on Oxford Advances Learner’s Dictionary by Hornby (2010:959), moral relates to the standard or principles of a good behavior. So, moral value formed to make people had a good personality.

There are four characteristic of moral value. There are as following: a) Moral value is related with responsibility

Moral value is related with human personality, but beside moral value also automatically can say other values. Moral value makes people wrong or not, because he/she has responsibility.

Moral value obligates us absolutely and it can’t be compromised. Other values need to be real and admitted, for example, aesthetic value. Educative and cultural person will admit and enjoying aesthetic value. But indifferent people can’t we blame. Moral value obligates us as such, without requirement.

In other value for example, if badminton player want to be champion, he/she must try hard. It’s a must to be champion, but there is a limitation. d) Formality

Moral value is not stand-alone without other value. Although moral value is top value that we must appreciate, but it is not in top without other value. Moral values did not separate with other values. For example, a seller applies moral values all at once with apply economic values.

Moral values are nothing without other values. It is form of formality.(Bertens,2000:143-147).
