THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 within 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?"

AS OF AUGUST 25,2016

One ant cannot build a Pyramid

(yet pyramids exist /on land and underseas)

Fire ants persist(even when poisons can kill them)

The energy of ants still builds/when they work together

Rather than being squashed underfoot/some army ants

invade other territories.While peace ants

simply build tunnels and caves for winter/

stocking up for floods,fires and natural disasters.

We are not ants(are we not two-legged?

yet we still war and build,invade and fight

and some just live,while others wish Empires.

Are we not ants?Ask the gods of boots above us...
