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?"

DEAR FRIENDS

it is true the New Year is not so new-

Weimer Republic cultural optimisms vs incoming Vandals&Visigoths

We form circles like the ripples of a pond-all small,but measurable(like Standing Rock)

Aware of Flint,Michigan,the Water Protectors  assist in the provisions of clean waters

Big Bend,too,pipeline threatened,has folk coming to the rescue.Always Nature and the Natural

seems to be perceived as some enemy/while to us she is all we are and know.Compassion

in the crying caves,and gathering clothes for refugees.Organizing for Health care for Seniors ,Homeless

and those Dispossessed by Wars  and Violence.These times precipitate a certain clarity.

We need act  upon pour best beliefs,or certain privileges may be forever lost.

Already-earthquakes in Oklahoma due to fracking/are getting closer.

Already,oil and gas ally against our need for clear ,clean water

And fossil fuels know they are dinosaurs,yet demand tolls and taxes.

Solution and panaceas exist.They need all of all of us.

Welcome to 2017.Prepare for The Grande Dance!
