HOW ARE YOU
By: Hon. Akpadzi Agbeko Godwin
1. When we innocently give out our best for the joy of the populists
2. We later consumed the pains privately and alone
3. But who consoles us when they don't even know that we cry
4. After giving them the happiness they desired from us
5. But oh for how long shall we keep pretending
6. We are really sinking but no one knows
7. Everyone thought our drowning is a new style of swimming
8. This is our own doing for them
9. Because we want to please them and make them happy
10. We are dying slowly for them to live happily
11. Have you ever thought of this
12. And what do you come up with
13. What do you think should be the reform
14. Well I might be asking too many questions upfront
15. Follow me now let's see how it goes
16. By the way how are you
17. Did I hear you say I am fine
18. But I heard you moments ago telling Nenevi your head aches
19. You don't even have a dime to go to the pharmacy
20. Let's move on if you haven't thought of this
21. It is not OK to just ask how are you
22. Not everyone that says I am fine that is really fine
23. Oh boy how are you
24. I am fine thank you
25. Is nothing but a poem we were thought in preschool
26. To know how we're really faring
27. Ask more than just reciting the preschool poem
27. Even on our way to the psychiatrist
28. We are fine will be the ultimate response
29. Peep beyond the curtains
30. You'll see ugly scenes than the beauty on stage
