A Nation Poem by Black Consciousness Poetry BCP

There's a voice that remains cocked in many
throats, a reality looming beyond what many
eyes are condition to see, there's a lived experience,
a story written everyday but never published for
the world to read.

Here there's dark clouds gathering, a booming storm
beyond this illusive colours of the rainbow, there's a
nation surviving within the nation, bipolic state of People
of Colour and Rainbow People, here there's a pregnant
nation to give birth, there's a dying nation, to give way.

There's a nation of suburbians living Fat, there's a nation
of subjects surviving death, for a tomorrow of citizenship.

There's liberation coming, so they agitate for the death
of South Africa, for the birth of Azania.
