Prisoners & Revolutionaries Poem by Black Consciousness Poetry BCP

Black people please feel insulted
Please don't be passive and peaceful
For every black person in south Africa
& in the world at large is a prisoner.
serving life imprisonment from the day
we are born till the day we die.
Black man, you may be on your own, but
you are not alone.
We all share your story & your pain.
The story & the pain of being black.
All of us, rich or poor, makes no difference.
Just prisoners in different cages.

Prisoners of consciousness.
Prisoners of religious ideas of conquest.
Prisoners of worshiping the nonsense.
Prisoners of political incompetence.
Prisoners of social negative influence.
Prisoners of self hate & of none self
acceptance.
Prisoners of lack of knowledge of self.
Prisoners of a misleading social media content.
Prisoners driven by television imagery while
calling it entertainment.
Prisoners of entertainment hypnosis
Entering a terrain that terrorizes our very
existence....
Prisoners of the captivity of none activity
but of reactivity.

Prisoners of economical non participation
Unless when participating as a puppet for
white monopoly enriching whiteness.
Prisoners sentenced to a life of stress
Prisoners of psychological warfare
Prisoners unleashed for self-destruction.
Prisoners of mis-education, mis-educated
well enough to continue mis-educating our own children.

Prisoners of war even after the war is won against us.
Prisoners of being easily led into war against each other.
Prisoners of cheap labor for white interest
Prisoners of white supremacy.
Prisoners of white power.
Prisoners is us who have no power.
Prisoners is us who build tall wide walls around our
homes like a tower.
Prisoners is us the Christians.
Prisoners is us who are the good ones.
Prisoners is us who are the law abiding citizens.
Prisoners is us who have no criminal offenses.
Prisoners is us who obey all the rules that offend us.
Prisoners is us who are fashioned to be scared
of revolution.
Prisoners is us who are the reactionaries.

Who are the revolutionaries?
Who are the real free thinkers?
The revolutionaries are few amongst us.
The revolutionaries are freedom fighters
Locked behind physical steel bars.
Revolutionaries are fugitives running away
to avoid these steel bars.
Revolutionaries are painted as criminals for
offending the biggest offender we call the
government.
Revolutionaries are those who rebelled against
the system that seeks to enslave us.

A revolutionary is he who threw a bucket of
poo on the statue of Cecil John Rhodes.
Revolutionaries are those who ref
uses to pay E-tolls on those roads.
A revolutionary is he who said Jesus had
HIV Aids
Revolutionaries are those who rob the banks
that choke us with interest rates.
Revolutionaries are those who marched against
white minority rule on the Johannesburg Stockade
exchange.
Revolutionaries are those refusing to give their
maximum effort for a minimum change
Revolutionaries rather bomb these ATM's than
surrender their hard labor to this system of
thieves.
Revolutionaries are those who steal Eskom power
cables.
Revolutionaries are those who steal from those
who steal from us.

Revolutionaries are those who feel no compassion
for this system.
Revolutionaries are those who don't feel compelled
to protect this system.
Revolutionaries are those students who threw bottles
and stones demanding free quality education.
Revolutionaries are those who hate subjugation more
than they fear death.
Revolutionaries are those who bomb strap themselves
& take the enemy with in an explosion of losing the
breath of life.
Revolutionaries are those the government would rather
kill than risk to keep in jail.
Are we revolutionary?
Well?

Black people, Please do feel insulted
Do not be passive and peaceful.
for every black person in south Africa
& in the world at large is a prisoner
serving life imprisonment from the day
we are born till the day we die.
Black man, you may be on your own, but you
are not alone.
We all share your story & your pain.
The story & the pain of being black.
All of us, rich or poor, makes no difference.
Just prisoners in different cages.
