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."
one of the most important releases of the decade, the horrors shouted here are only getting worse, type of shit to keep you up at night. straight raw punk to slam breakdowns on some parts, wild wild shit. thankful to have caught them at TIANTG fr. David
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. X Wild Alaskan Salmonella X
