What do you think this poem is about?

Voodoo Rain in Chicago

Magic
Each glistening drop
tinkers and shimmers

Falls
from each which way
mystically resembling that which glitters

Yes, the Voodoo comes down, even in Chicago

Black
gathers energy fast
and bewitches even the strongest

Star
burning in crimson fury
cascade down on us the longest

Even in Chicago, Yes, the Voodoo comes Down
