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?" 

ROME WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE COLOSSEUM
CAMBODIA HER KILLING FIELDS

CHINA HER LONG MARCH/PURGE VICTIMS

RUSSIA HER SIBERIAN EXECUTIONS

GERMANY HER AUSCHWITZ

AMERICA HER INDIGENOUS MASSACRES

FRANCE HER GUILLOTINE REVOLUTIONARIES

ENGLAND HER TOWER OF LONDON BEHEADINGS

AUSTRALIA HER ABORIGINAL SLAUGHTERS

We are followed by histories/which return

to haunt us/until we learn/the only way to live

is where every body lives.
