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 Tom'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

We blame Monsanto.After all,Zika outbreaks

are largely in Third World countries,where spraying of crops

results in microcephacy in babies.Yet now,110 pregnant women in Florida

have tested positive for the Zika virus(Aedes Aegypti)

Do not ask if climate change has resulted in proliferation of mosquitoes!

Now why $1.1 billion of your taxes will be used on aerial spraying .

Nor why the Gates Foundation has a plan to distribute "good"mosquitoes

in Chinese take-out boxes ,to mix with the Zika mosquitoes

to outbreed the virus.Chemical warfare.Yes! DEET  may have other side-effects

especially when sprayed in water supply areas,or near vulnerable children.

Much of the Third World is exposed to unsafe water supplies(mosquito breeding areas)

The earth is heating,with visible consequences.Antidote to mosquitoes?

If rats and cockroaches survive our chemical sprays,what next?
