A state of mind emphasizing a moment,
Primrose paths that line the potent
Sudden recognitions
that change the view of self
and one’s social conditions
What deity do you envision as a form of existence?
Generated by combinations of memory, knowledge, and predisposition.
What systemized chemicals regulate your behaviour?
Red, Black, Yellow bile too...
Can you assent to the reality of a situation
recognizing a process without attempting to change it?
What stops us from turning towards bids of connection to another?
I struggle to believe each side completes the other.

HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

I’ve crossed the Rubicon
Defamed the tribe
Deficiency -
Ego ought such
as self esteem -
impossible to reach
Fundamental Requisites
Food and shelter.
Wonder & Bliss.
If only love could be at the center
Inclusion forging us together
You wear symbols to present politics
But without action it's only esthetics;
…Transcendence?

URTICATION

(Sung in Portuguese)
Alert during battle or the hunt -
These glittering spikes - (those shiny tips)
I am the stinging of the skin.
I gift pleasure.
But only gift fools pain.
You disregard my shimmering leaves
and leave no offerings
You step and pass over my stories
I dim my shine to cause surprise
And kiss you with my stinging tears.
I will continue to grow upward from the sidewalks
The class you look down
on as you look down on me.
They pay their respects and because -
I restore them.
I spin into a high power
I sting to control the pain.
Why do you step on and ignore my stories?

SATURN SQUARE URANUS

(Sung in Portuguese)
We reconnect in the flesh;
imprints of memories distorted.
Night slips into day like a ribbon;
tied.
Polarity passes the thoughts of
eyes that are passive
The suffering breaks the pistil
The pistil breaks in suffering
Flower petals, remain in the maintained.
Red actions, discovered like ice.
A vast disorder
A vast difference.
Unprecedented,
dew falls from the hollow of the hand.
Rest untouched on this softened thorn.
The pull of gravity
The vengeance of willpower
This war of Roses
Thats come to an end
This meeting of earth and air
in two intense elements
that never interact with one another.
Saturn Square Uranus.

YELLOW NEGROS

We were dead before they shone
their light in our eyes
No pain Morabezas*
only peace for deceased but they refrain
Screams come in high like tides
Telling tales with fists is the business.
Imperialist rule on ethnography divides.
Variegated stories of Yellow Negroes.
Immigrant stories of Yellow Negroes.
Tales of phantom criminals make the books.
Subjective and one sided.
Words mask flesh, I detest.
Do I remain alone? No.
I live with the Moors-
The Blacks.
Culture into practice -
Dreams of diversion attacks.
At the bottom, deep in the sand I dwell and wait,
to send it back home
Screams come in high like tides
Telling tales with fists is the business.
“Identity and dignity in the context of the national liberation struggle**”
*Morabezas - welcoming village folks, party neighborhood people, hospitable fishermen
**Identity and dignity in the context of the national liberation struggle -
"Delivered by Amilcar Cabral at Lincoln University on Oct.15, 1972, when he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy .
In this address he emphasizes the vital role of culture in the development of the liberation movement.
He makes a distinction between the masses who preserved their culture and the social groups (the indigenous petite bourgeoisie) who are culturally alienated.
To rediscover their identity and dignity the petite bourgeoisie turn to the native masses.
They play a decisive role in transforming cultural resistance into political, economic and military resistance."

The punk scene needs more of this. There are obvious comparisons to be had with Nausea and Sacrilege, but Flower stands on their own (and alone, currently) with this caustic, crusty, meaningful punk. Buy the LP/shirt bundle - it's a good price and you're supporting a good scene.
