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?"

TAKING UMBRAGE (another Texas rant)
NEVER GOT USED TO IT!
Nuclear weapons,War,Hiroshima,Nagasaki
Killing Fields,Charles Manson,jailing whistleblowers,
Corrupt criminals,Coca-Killa,Pepsi-Killa,Sugar /Salt addiction,
Death,Despair,Alienation.Reactionary politics/sewage.
Being censored/forced into solitary silences.
Realizing newspapers are dead.Trains in bankruptcy-planes too.
And that Boeing 737 killed over 300 innocent people.
And is now being released again-like pardoned criminals.
Jails do not work.Neither do schools-and if you want illness-
go to a hospital!People have forgotten more than they know
Distraction is destruction and sold as Hollywood shows.
I take this personally,as i wish to stay alive
and one in a  thousand share my Covid times cry.
So cancel sarin,smallpox,polio,AIDS,Ebola-
Every epidemic,plague,pandemic of any time
I want health ,happiness-to be hale and hearty
and i take umbrage at any negative horror script armageddon scenarios
MAY WE ALL LIVE WELL &PROSPER!In Star Trek rather than Star Wars.
And we REALLY do not need-a SPACE FORCE!

...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.
