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!!" 

I EAT ANIMALS

Some of them free range

I may have eaten bison

It was not in a cage

I have eaten birds

that cling to thinner air

I know i have eaten fish

Will you bless them there?

Must my cat come in a cage?

She loves to feral,free

She,too eats birds(huntingly!

If i bring my snake

will this mean it is Eden?

Bless the figleafs then-

This apple has been eaten!
