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 Thom'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?"

PERHAPS WE ARE IRISH,FRENCH,AUSTRALIAN
but in America 2016 ,we are explained via HAMILTON
set free by KOREMATSU.We maintain our right to silence via MIRANDA,
and access to contraception via GRISWOLD.Various races can marry
thanks to LOVING,and we can gain a court-appointed attorney
thanks to GIDEON.Here The Defense of Marriage Act
was defeated via WINDSOR,and same sex marriage affirmed
via OBERGEFELL.All of these affirmed via our ACLU.
We have many brothers and sisters of diverse origins.
All of us live together under one Constitution.
It has a Bill of Rights,which we are also married to /
and will not resile from /nor divorce.One nation,
many nationalities.One family,many diversities.
Culture embraces,politics divides.

Meet my family -on the streets /tonight!

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
