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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

YOU CAN NOT EAT OIL
Waters that they extract for"natural"gas
forget drought ,bare bone desert/become emotions
Alone in cells of less and loss/bribed only when the market forces
value resources over one's truly human needs-to be,to express
to link with Light and love and laughter with trusted friends
Your footprints walk away from older games
There is no reason to stay.Unless the seed of truly human beings can play
All is work and slave.Price tags dictate.Cost over true value
Scarcity means high prices.Work till the field dies.
You only know when you try.To be your authentic self


before you die..
