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 and 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)

OMNIA MUTANTUR

Air(always in circulation-like rumors

Water,unless stopped,road blocked,dammed,privitized in plastic

Earth -until quake,frack,mineshafted,dug,hollowed ,stripped

Fire,hearth,home,bush,burning

Metal-Vulcan,Blacksmith,Thor of Asgard

Wood-Multispecies replaced via pine match stick plantations

Feral,free,indigenous,flora,fauna-

until cage,kennel,fence,limits,laws, lower vibration

Abolish zoos,circuses,animal testing,experimentation,cosmetics,aquaria

Still find dead whales on sonar submarine beaches

Space has run out,screaming.Time is jewelry/and a magazine.

We visit the past to see who we were before-green,golden,glorious

Now drought,rations,gridlock,heat,dust,carbon,denial,parking
Make a grocery list of Petitions to Sign Before Breakfast

Speed of change negates micro-goodwill enterprises

Drill,Arctic!Forget,Gulf of Mexico/Rainforest,Amazon..

They will make a color movie.It will be a documentary.History Channel.
