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?"

BERNIE SANDERS IS MY MENSCH
CONSISTENT ALL HIS LIFE
He has been for equality,peace and human rights
He has bravely stood up in this fight
Peacefully demonstrated,violently treated
Persisting  in his peaceful means.
Twice he ran for President
Twice he fell upon his sword
for less qualified candidates,for sure
what he really wanted was to ensure
that progressive policies might be employed
for his children and grandchildren's  lives
In these days,when to be alive /is our beginning ambition
He continues to remonstrate for our education
in the ways of populist manifestation
Vermont is better for having him
Mensch of a good example then
Bernie Sanders gets my vote Zen!

...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.
