i making beats and music, how do i copyright it?

I am asking for people’s opinions on various rappers in hip hop who are fake by over-exaggerating their street/crime life and those rappers who are actually real in every sense of the word in the booth and in the street.

I want to make some beats, where can i find software to download onto my computer to produce some rap beats.

In the poem apparently its an abusive relationship and has been for some time. He continuously beats her and towards the end the poet says that he is taking her flowers but this time to her grave. It was circling (sp) a lot on MySpace and even on Yahoo! Mail…..

I want to inspire a woman to leave her relationship.
Please help me find that poem.
