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?"
DEMOCRACY IS NOT HISTORY
This experiment is largely anomalous
Our history as humans is tribal,
with chiefs/bosses/Emperors/Kings/Warriors leading us
Coups are common.and cost lives
Revolutions also cost lives,and are rarely successful
The French Revolution started with mobs storming the Bastille
ended after a bloodbath of guillotine executions
The First Russian Revolution failed in 1905,
and the second lead to massive starvation (and executions)
The Chinese Revolution(the Great Leap Forward)
also led to starvation and mass executions
And when Cambodia was forced into Kampuchea
The Killing Fields murdered the best and brightest of that culture
And the ongoing American Revolution has been hijacked
by those fascists Two World Wars fought against
Mussolini was shot before being strung up by his heels
Hitler had to shoot himself.Some say he escaped to Argentina.
America must now decide what to do with the leaders of this failed coup.
It is not a revolution.Our culture must choose.
