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?"

THE PROBLEM WITH TEXAS
WE ARE LARGE&PROVIDE PRESIDENTS
We also assassinate them,and have much racism,sexism,fascism..
Our Representatives do not represent.They plunder Aid funs for their private businesses
They lack accountability nd transparency.They are sustained by propaganda and gerrymandering
They make war upon little progressive Austin,as it builds on a Progressive base.
They make reference to THE ALAMO,forgetting it was a defeat.
We claim Libertarian tendencies,but suppress votes.
Disenfranchisement is rampant.Access to vaccines limited.
Hospitals close when they cannot meet economies of scale
'Texas is married to oil and gas lobbies and cannot divorce
Texas is married to a past both mythic and horrendous
A new myth is needed-equality ,respect,harmony and prosperity
And it begins here and now-in Austin,Texas-with TARA!

...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.
