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!!"

DIRECTION IS ONLY WHERE YOU CHOOSE

WHEN HALF THE WORLD ARE REFUGEES

and every body is from somewhere else

Yet still the only Esperanto is Eckankar Dream Travel

Astral and Astros merge in a team effort to subvert all paradigms

China's bicycles become SUVs/her Confucian villages flooded dams

Philosophy is benched under ECONOMICS.Professors in brothels of think-tanks.

Reference not any flowers growing-more the harvest of blood sports

When eye walk outside,the heat index wins.Air conditioning won the West.

The Fire Next Time is in California.Still-water parks ,golf courses

Dreams of floating Arabian icebergs.Alaskan tourists.Chill Coke.

The IDEA of Ideas has progressed beyond Plato to a Greek economy

Puppet masters manipulate debt to foreclose on futures.Student debt forever

until each nation has a credit card -with a strict limit.Bilderbergers..Busted.
