Black rain

"

Black rain

i have seen the clouds forming

the tables are turning

pendulums in swing

from Cape to Cairo

thunder in the making

let it rain, here comes the rain

there is a sweet pain within the rain

the soil is to dry, hear the baby cry

no pain no gain let me sow seeds

i have seen black rainSahara and Kahari bare dancing

Black reign birthed in the rain

after marks from the lynching

dead but not lost souls sing

swimming is them

when they heardthe voice in the grove

wade in the water childrenwithin you cascades the spirits

dare not to be touched

when the time is not near

for if disturbed nothing will remain the same

i have seen Black rain

the reigning thunder in the rain

Black rain, let it rain.
