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?

DADDY DEAREST
"IN MILWAUKEE,TWO OUT OF THREE CHILDREN ARE RAISED BY SINGLE PARENTS"
The nuclear family  radiated first,then exploded,and had fallout.
Fatherless children ask one parent to do the role of two.
Kanye West sings of a 'GOLD DIGGER"single mother
Contraception and safe sex need to be taught in every school.
Planned Parenthood offers a PLAN B for failures of prevention
Often,the children of single parents become single parents themselves
Church alone is no guarantee of good role modelling
Lonely fathers and single mothers both need support(as do their children)

Fathers Day reminds us -that support must come -from us.

...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.
