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?"
POLITICS=PROPAGANDA,PERSECUTION,PATRONAGE
Where power is force over rather than service for,with and to
When military spending overwhelms culture and education
When media is consolidated and a mouthpiece for government
When patrons and sycophants are given portfolios
When police violence is used against agents of change
And the people come out on the streets,petitioning
And social media is either shut down or brimming with alternatives
And the same question presents itself-how can change happen?
When bribery,corruption,lies and frauds attempt to bully and frame dissidents?
Unanswered this-in our Age (as in all others).Revolution means bloodshed.
Stagnation .Corruption.1905 to 1917(Russia) .French Revolution ./Digital Revolution..
Hackers ,phishers,whistleblowers.Pussy Riot against the Reign of Putin.
