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?"
NOTHING IS PREDICTABLE.NOTHING IS SECURED
Ice can break off the size of Belgium
Storms can lead to Spring sunshine
Rightwing conservative anarchist libertarians can steal our language
providing cliches for followers to mob rule elections
And murder is racism. War on women. Endless invasions
And when whistelblowers,journalists,poets question-who gets punished?
This is village level again-witch hunts,attack media,hate speech
And,in the midst -volunteers to clear the debris and the damage
Both Taliban and Fundamentalist Christians hate art.
They hack attack censor and destroy critical thinking
And,in the midst-artists thrive,homeless but heart based
We link to them with their best impulses
And in the midst of storms-a certain still/silence /clarity
LIVES!
