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?

7 BILLION ACTING LIKE 11 BILLION
PLAGUE PROPORTION HUMANS
Fracking their drinking water
Putting oil pipelines through their drinking water
Polluting wells and springs and waterways and rivers
Until ,so thirsty,they sell soul in plastic
Reduce vital running waters to dull dams
Add fluoride and chlorine just to strain the sewage
Import "boutique"waters from Fiji
While water fights over water rights divide borders
Palestine thirsts,with Sudan ,Somalia
Coca-Killa takes water rights/like Nestle
Sells"mineral"waters (carbonated)
Water is conscious.She knows you.
She is sixty percent of you.One day,you will be
waste waters,too..

...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.
