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?"

Subject: WHO DO YOU HANG?PUPPETEER -OR PUPPET?

BRITAIN FOLLOWS AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY
American bases on English soil. Boris Johnson trump#2
Boy imp with no personal responsibility. Empty emperor.
And all his angry dogs barking and howling
Cannot put Afghanistan together again. Sadness for civilians!
Betrayed again. It was a trump move to negotiate with Taliban
sidelining the Afghan government entirely. Lives were lost.
Too high a cost. The present focus must be on accountability-
to bring civilian translators and families back to Britain.
Taliban cannot be trusted. Boris and his henchmen cannot be trusted.
It is down to NGOs and civilian aid agencies to directly assist civilians.
Ask for your taxes back-wasted on wars and useless foreign interventions.
Find trustworthy representatives who speak truth. Act NOW to save lives
that should never have been at risk relying upon government/terrorists.

...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.
