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?

THOU SHALT HAVE CITY GARDENS

THEY WILL BE ON EVERY ROOFTOP

(those not covered in solar cells)

It shall be Permaculture

so every slum might have green roots

and vegetables sufficient for all occupants

In Austin,we have Festival Beach Farm

right next to the low rent high rise

so even the poor might eat like rich.

Community garden plots proliferate!

Same as in England and Australia.

Every home needs gardens instead of lawns

Every rooftop needs to soak up sunlight for greens

Every space needs to be retrieved for growing plots

From pots to raised beds to hanging gardens

The variety of adaptations has no limits

The future is green,as it was in the beginning

According to stories-we all came from a Garden...a link.
