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?"


CRYING FOR LIGHT
HANGING IN FOR GOOD NEWS
Vaccines are like filters for this mutating virus
Many will remain unmasked,too close for comfort
While we praise the existence of vaccines
Their distribution is still an issue
And that emotional reaction!Irrational as fear
means that many "at-risk"will not trust Governments
enough to act for their own self-preservation.
We are in a new world ,where health care workers are heroines
and casualty lists still rise higher than wars
Leave conspiracy theories in the trash of yesterday's propaganda
We will only survive and thrive
when we alter our behavior...

...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.
