The rain did not stop falling.
Unlike dodging bullets
Or thwarting muggers
The rain doesn't decide
Who to fall on
Nor where or when
It just does.
And when it does,
Run you all, into the crevice
whence you came
Or a high tree,
Cling to electrical wires.
While the rain pours,
Children swim in the coffee water,
Men jigger on the streets,
You wander why people
Cannot erase that awful smile
You see, in my country,
A smile is free.
But after the rain
There will be costs
After all, death is not.
So do the hustle
Sound the alarm
Let the chariots waiting
Take us all
After all,
On doomsday,
Death is free.
