Barracudas

New loose barracudas out to coup.
These barracudas in their silkened suits.
Barracudas spying on the roof in cahoots...
Choosing who to snoop and boot from the root.

Male barracudas and the females too,
Using cruel abrasive tactics to undo...
Everything and everyone that's in their way,
To dupe with a hoodwinked tricking to fool.

Maybe they were booted from a special loop.
Deciding they should rule together to cop the coop.
Then determined they would be mean and cruel...
To anyone who tried to stop their attitudes.

Male barracudas and the females too,
Using cruel abrasive tactics to undo...
To dupe with a hoodwinked tricking to fool,
Anyone who tried to stop their attitudes.

Abrasive Waves (Revised)

Belligerent discourse, each statement
aggressively confronts, an aggravated
inflexion rasps pugnaciously, grating
voice deepens ostentatiously for each
pretentious word at end-of-phrase

Drawn out vowels – discordant notes
create nerve-quaking noise, grows
exasperation in already aching ears,
words exploding in my mind until I’m
speechless with dismay

Only physical separation can dissipate
this callous cacophony, prevent it from
breaking in abrasive waves…

[ORIGINAL]

Belligerent talking, every statement

Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.

A poor Carpenter writes

Though I sandpaper this rough life
This abrasive substance won't smooth it
Ebony is hard to polish
And life gives an antique value
With a matt finish!

*To the silent poet Ebn Zaiat!

Reality Has Its Own Agenda Too

They can create any statistic they wish.
Label it and give it purpose.
And have anyone believe,
What it is they desire perceived.
But reality has its own agenda too!
And when it finally begins to remove falsities...
It does so without making excuses.
Sometimes becoming quite abrupt,
Abrasive and direct!

HiFi

On you,
On it,
This is like a label!
Barrow, arrow, marrow, crow, sparrow, narrow;
But, my name is HiFi.

Fighting for your love,
Fighting for your care,
Fighting for your peace,
And like the Caribbean Spirit!

Passive,
Active,
Massive!
Expensive,
Exclusive,
Abrasive,
Intensive! !
But, in the open air;
For, i am with you always.

Real

Real, deal, meal, wheal, peal, seal, veal, weal, steal, zeal;
And like the gods and dogs playing together! !
Inclusive, exclusive, pensive, abrasive, expensive, massive, abusive;
Nut, this hat is a sign of authority.

Only water it!
But, don't hold it;
And make it easier for others to understand your muse;
Because, the ways of your life is like defying gravity! !

Five-Pence Monologue

Poppies whirl in my head
Lears howl like a bad romance
Absent Moor in opium they swim
Green Iagos fall in smelly beds

Odours of blood react at politicians’ words
Brothers grovel for success between the worms
The years of a strong ecstasy haunts us
A passion of Pluto has gone above us

No lover stays angelic
Hell reigns all bodies
Buttered flowers are psychedelic
Abrasive and snide movements marry our toys

Leitmotif

I thought it was never compulsive
Yet you tried to be the exclusive
Your behavior sure was talkative
That alone cannot be the positive
You found all people as negative
Your insinuations were abrasive
The aspirations were possessive
Histrionics were again successive
Yet my response was cooperative
Anyways I had no other motive
But was trying the ways creative
And to avoid being too narrative
Leitmotif was only being positive
