Gettin Rained On

Yuh hear them raindrops?
Poppin static
Puts us lowly, exposed ones in a wild bustle
See them yuppies?
Unfolded ‘brellas like shields
Heads held high
N dry
While we attempt a futile dance
Out maneuverin the sky’s darts
And it aint flat-footin’

Call it the jitter walk
Ever tried? Course.
Yuh just jitter walk and gawk
At them idyllic, skippy-smilin’ yuppies
Heedless to our foolish performances
Got no peril beneath them ‘brellas
Got no heart
For us soaked, poor folk in bedlam
The inauspicious bunch

that's the coolest poem I've ever read. Seriously, I'm not kidding at all, that's by far the best poem I've ever read.
