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?"

TRAVIS COUNTY &THE AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL
Finally declare a Public Health Emergency
Deaths from overdoses have reached a threshold
sufficient to alarm all Public Health Authorities.
Even the Poets have lost at least one significant soul
to that Fentanyl that knows no boundaries,limits nor laws..
Adulteration is the danger.Adding Fentanyl to familiar drugs,
destroying trust.Who knows how the grains glow?
Lives lost far too many-our knowledge slow
Not fast enough to bring youth back from the edge
Nor deep enough in knowledge to renew Life's Pledge..
