THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling writes: 

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

HOLY EARTH! BLESSED REAL ESTATE!

i hear them talk of HOT markets

how Austin taxes are THROUGH THE ROOF

how in London they make parks over Black Plague Mass Graves

Bulldoze burial plots,dig up Kings Bones in Leicester Car Parks

Wonder when our common remains will be Halting Future Development

while Computer Forensics determine our Worth and Validity

Native American remains only temporarily delay "development"

Our departing Texas Governor departed to examine WW2 remains

Our venues close when they are bought out -single stories now high rise

while drought,emotional ,intellectual and archaeological

still digs arrowheads and bones in homeless creek beds.
