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?"

PEACE PLEASE

WE CANNOT AFFORD WAR

It boosts up the healing budget

 damaged soldiers will  need V.A ,doctors,psychologists

often for the rest of their lives

We can not afford weapons

They get old too easily,displaced

by new methods of killing ourselves

which always compounds the dilemma

Why buy what you do not use

and cannot afford to use?(F35)

Why not a Marshall Plan for America?

Structural change for real structures-

Bridges,roads,country hospitals

Then Universal Health Care-resourcing healing

so no more damage is done to us or THEM

(whoever THEY might be-children in cages,refugees,

our own Native Americans,Indigenous,our color codes-

black,brown,yellow,Green,Rainbow-all need renovating..

So much can be healed with the focus on loving...
