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?"

BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW
Information is our economy
How many dead,dying,infected?
Which countries ban us this week?
What are requirements for travel?
Masks?Mandates?Names of missing?
Collective bereavement processes.
Whole world on lock down-how long?
Same but different-Canada,England,Australia
Borders vs Refugees.Freedom vs Controls.
This is why we ask doctors.Doctors ask their peers-
How much longer can we live like this?ANSWER-
WE ARE JUST BEGINNING TO ADAPT.
This process of questioning is the answer.
