Analysis of Lifestyle Changes
Meshack Bwoyele Keya 1960 (Vihiga)
Christmas was celebration time
Only then did the family cock lose life
Celebration was the rhyme
Traditional beer shared with no strife
I look back with no shame
Things do change in prime
Now life sweetness is no more
We cannot share same pot.
Breathing air is restricted too
They is a mask covering face
To meet others we do cow
Life is lived in disgrace
Washing hands is too much too
Yet we do it like in a race
Now life sweetness is no more
We cannot share same pot.
It started with aids
Then came this Corona
We cannot fight all odds
This is not Carolina
We have put on pads
As we avoid this collonel
Now life sweetness is no more
We cannot share same pot.
