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?"

I WILL BELIEVE YOU

WHEN YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

for representing the wishes and wills of others

who do not wish to take responsibility.

for their own actions,or the wishes of their demographic

Because we do not obey the law

we must pay jailers,police and judges

Because we do not make the laws

we pay politicians.When you step up

into the withering criticism of armchair FACEBOOK politicians

you will finally feel the hatred of the crowds

knitting near the guillotine

while another Royal head plops into the basket for their entertainment
