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?" 

NEVER LOVED BRUSSELS

even when i tried.Cannot see the point

of the "Pissing Boy"or their secret sexual crimes

Even if the UN likes Brussels,i cannot embrace ugliness

Weather is depressed .No spark of brilliance

OF COURSE there will be mutterings of revolt

OF COURSE no art will flow from stagnant souls

OF COURSE everyone is so close /invasions flow

so little Belgium gets swallowed whole

by Germany or France.No soul .Brussels has no soul

Belgium a blob upon Olde Europa.Of course,i was ripped off

by a Belgian taxi driver.Overcharged like some vulture

Left a bad taste in my pocket.Just like "Pissing Boy"in the fog.

Round up those "terrorists "in their darkest  night

In this case,Baudelaire was right!
