Rainy season at Kroo Bay
I live in Kroo Bay
It has been a terrible night and day
The pitter-patter of the rain
Has brought us so much pain
Our kids can’t go to school
Our rooms look like a pool
Scooping water all night
This is certainly not right
Some say we have been stubborn
Refusing to somewhere else move on
But where else can we afford it?
When to landlords all our savings we’ll forfeit
Resettle us government we are a part of this nation
