The Rain

Saah F Kanda 1956 (Lofa)

Narrative
Yes! It's here again
When it comes, it spears none
Even the poor or rich

We don't sleep when it comes
'Cause we stay awake to hold the water as it leaks Through our tached roof it drops where we lay

The nights seem longer for the poor
Yet the rich enjoys the rain drop on the zinc roofs

The rain, yes the rain
