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?
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
2018
Your dreams might end all
homelessness
Might feed millions of
hopeless/helpless
Those with no status.In
cages/enraged.
Each one silenced by Authority(which
censors us
and makes all PC that which offends
You might go to a Sun
Dance
Apply Reiki ,Shiatsu.Learn Kung
Fu,Karate.
You might apply/ like Ezra Pound/many
languages..
as a political editor once sang
"USURY!"
Perhaps you support Tibet against
China,
wish to release all political
prisoners.Start with language
Before it disappears into rants,cliches
and polite white speech
(It’s about time poets
learned that even they are not exempt from the PC thought police. That’ll
lern’em, dern’em.)
