Analysis of It is okay!
Meshack Bwoyele Keya 1960 (Vihiga)
Okay' is too evasive
It stands so decisive
Though it be hard to receive
They are thrown without save
My problems you can't perceive
'Okay' becomes abusive
Nobody feels your pain
Only you know their pangs
Family matters evolve
Relationship do dessolve
'Its okay' encouragers resolve
They do not your problem solve
Understanding too hard to perceive
You cannot 'okay' percieve
Nobody feels your pain
Only you know their pangs
Even death does you shave
'Okay' cannot have it wave
Your friend heads to the deep grave
'Okay' cannot have a new way have
Though you look so grave
The others cannot away the grief drive
Nobody feels your pain
Only you know their pangs
Have your 'okays' save
They cannot turn me brave
'Wipe your tears' has nothing to solve
My lost one is what I need to have
Bitterness does make me rave
Am unable to you prove
Nobody feels your pain
Only you know their pangs
