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?"

WHETHER WE CAME FROM THE STARS(OR AFRICA)

Truth is a moving experience. Mostly freely, following food or water sources,

sometimes from war, to seek peace and sanctuary. Slavery 

is as old as ancestors in Egypt or before.  Wars make tutelage, ransom, hostages.

Release always conditional.  Before slavery seemed eternal, we dreamed freedom.

We carry that dream (stronger than Nations).It sustains us-our Diaspora

is one of culture, carried like seeds upon the wind. We land,and grow,harvest and know

there is always more to learn-our history the world's herstory. We learn as we grow.

We are still growing. We are still learning-new wisdoms. Primary -as freedom!
