"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?"
ALARMING INCREASE/DECREASE
Subject: ALARMING INCREASE
THERE HAS BEEN SEEN AN ALARMING INCREASE
in cases of self-harm and suicidal ideations
Crush of the pressures of a hard rock world
where the soft gentle feathers are ripped from a bird
Then thrown into hot water for chicken soup solutions
One must die for a martyr to be adored in Heaven
Turkey need be our National Emblem said Ben Franklin
Now we have a threatened species bald eagles far from our civilization
For if they lived as close to us as turkey farms
They would be served up-at Thanksgiving and at Christmas
Car accidents compound when all roads are blocked
Deaths increase when the world is on Covid lockdown
What is needed now is a surge in irrational optimism
to overwhelm despair,ennui,fear and isolation
There are many ways to defend and evolve our civilization
All of them more constructive than any Final Solution...
ALARMING DECREASE/IN CASES OF FLU,WITH ALL THESE INJECTIONS
Our immune systems are cumulatively strengthening
Our hygiene practices are evolving as well
We share medical stories of what is successful
Businesses make profits selling masks and gloves
Shops sell Saint Valentine with chocolate love
We can see each other clearly now,without help from above
And need be more gentle now that push comes to shove
We wish there to be an alarming decrease
in cynicism,anger ,reaction and dis-ease
If we can attune to each other right now
We would have more success than one single solitary Austin snowplow
