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?"

I KEEP MY POWDER DRY

I WAIT & WATCH & WONDER

I see black people murdered by police with no accountability

I see 110,000 Americans dead,with no vaccine nor effective treatment

I see police REALITY shows,documenting police violence(now being cancelled0

..but the bodies are still dead-from murder or from virus.Virtue lives in solutions-

Doctors and scientists seek solutions and vaccines for this virus.

Counselors and social workers seek to assuage social unrest.

Nurses ,doctors and social workers have to deal with both dilemmas

LIFE is the cause,the reasoning and the process.This virus(police violence)kills.

Pay your nurses,Doctors,health care workers more than they need.We need them.

Educate protestors about the necessity for social distancing and masks.Feed ,water and shelter them.

We are in the center of a typhoon of change,with no solution in sight.

Time to visualize WHAT WE REALLY WANT and HOW TO GET IT

Unless and until we are clear,the only change will be in casualties.

The first casualty-is always truth.
