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?"

CHANGES IN E-MOTIONS

AND WHEN THE TWITTER KING AS NERO

His consorts and advisors exposed as Mussolini's lover

Hung from streetlights as any dictator/Trumpeting "The People's Delight"

Our days are numbered,lovers.Our nights are silken sheets.

Paper in the printer as the New Edict is read.ALL CHANGE!

Today WHITE has been banned and MAUVE as well

Tonight a different color might find no credence here

The speech of flowers in a garden of weeds

Rough magic in the broken windows /burnt buildings

Faux news ,paid masked agitators repeat Crystal Nights

Soon you will be wearing 666/or some other numbers from THE MATRIX

When camps are secret as their punishments,waterboard dissenters

Journalists long imprisoned /vilified for disobedience

Old Empires mean nothing to the Twitter King.

His weapon bluster and braggadocio.He browbeats the weak

speaks down to all subordinates,bullies those who speak

never mentions all those lawsuits waiting in the wings to defeat

Light grows dim.Song of day turns sullen in his sleep.

He awakes-to sit upon the pot-and send another Tweet.
