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?" 

AGE TAKES YEARS

Slower,with tears in the fabric

of family and friends,we compare

bright young with aged,who come

to slownes with a wisdom young cannot know

Home and hearth become box and bed

All that you own in storage or sold.

You have no way to know

where and when to go-so

you must rely upon"carers"(who do not care)

Assisted Living(when you REALLY need assistance just to go on living)

Elder abuse too common.Neglect and familial lack of love.Support Yr Living Exemplars!

Soon you will be they -who,born before you-lead the way..
