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?

WHAT IS TRUE?

SOCRATES UPDATED

Is global warming true?Is our world only 5000 years old?

Is there a Heaven?Will only 144,000 get in?Are there angels?

Science was born via philosophy.We begin with metaphor

"In the Beginning"starts many a Creation Saga.On the level of Story,

every version can be true.Only the facts are in dispute.

And here is where forensics and science come in

to examine the body of evidence,and sift for remains of truth.

Sometimes there are none..
