I think we are gonna be friends

Bellicose means belligerent or pugnacious.
And belligerent means warlike
While pugnacious means prone to fight.

I have several xenophobic acquaintances who
Wallow in their pugnacious attitude towards outsiders
While basking in their blandishment
To bolster their fragile egos
While their homogenous ways threaten to shatter before their eyes.

These grandiloquent friends
Pick and tease at my feeble vocabulary
Fit only for a penurious beggar
Or palatial pauper.

But I consider their overweening
To be a bit overzealous.
They have no right to ostracize me based off of loquaciousness alone.

I consider them reprobates,
Repulsive in manner and soul.
And hopefully they’ll experience retribution
At the hands of the Divine.
