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?
HUBRIS (CLEON vs DIODOTUS)
THE ARROGANCE OF
EMPIRE
Assumes cultural
superiority via military superiority.
Assumes a continuity of
tradition already historic
Presumes upon a
"community"whose interests may change dramatically
Divides itself among the
"HAVES"and the "HAVE NOTS"permanently
And these divisions
divided Rome and Greece
English Empires and
Spanish Main
It is not language that
divides us/it is the application
"WAR IS PEACE.FREEDOM IS
SLAVERY"
When you are living in a
storm,umbrellas may not assist.
Division is already
here.What happens next?
