I Remember When It Rained
I remember when it rained
During my childhood days
That the rain would
While we were sleeping
rain through the porous roofs
Of our twin mud huts
I remember when it rained
When I was still a young boy
That the water would
While my grandmother
Was trying to prepare supper
flood the fire place
and put the fire off
And we would go to sleep hungry
I remember when it rained
Back in the days
That all our food,
All our clothes
Would be subjected
To coffee colored stains
Of water dripping through
The porous roofs
Of our twin mud huts
I remember when it rained
During my childhood days
That we could not sleep
We could not have food
to fill our hunger
We could not have
Dry clothes to put on
And I did not like the rain
