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?
BORDERS ATTRACT WALLS/WARS-&REFUGEES
LONG BEFORE US-NO WALLS/NO
BORDERS
After us-different walls,different
borders
For languages and customs come with
invasions
Curry now the top food in
England
Spanish the second language in
Texas
Even when Black Irish from the Spanish
Armada
and North Korean schools still within
Japan
Culture comes after the troops
depart
Crimea/Ukraine Russian
speakers
Cyprus for both Turks and
Greeks
Who claims the New
Cuisine?
How many Chinatowns in
cities?
Hadrian's Wall still tiny as
tourists
Yet Scotland still seeks
Independence
Romans never conquered
Cornwall
Who speaks Cornish?Gaelic?After
all-
Borders are linguistic and
cultural
You do not need a Wall
