"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?"
"THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING"(ric williams)
PROJECTION IS EVERYTHING
'The past is always with us-in fact it is not even the past"
We recognize when it repeats repeats-World Wars 1 and 2,
Iraq War#1 and 2,Bush#1,Bush#2,but no Kennedy #2...
Endless Afghani Empire Occupations-first British,then Russian,now(still) us.
Only the weapons change.Opium still harvests with different warlords
Corruption CIA like Air America Vietnam.Different drug mule planes-same game.
History repeats repeats.Same lies,same games.Different faces,same cliches.
"Burn the village to save the village"Uncounted civilian casualties=Collateral damage.
What can stop this Goya?This Guernica?This Return to Nazism/Fascism?
Art?Music?Poetry?Pigeons,sparrows,seagulls squawking,cooing,carping.
Journalists shot.Whistleblowers imprisoned.War on Assange continues.
Faux replaces fact.Community radio and TV kept on tiny frequencies.Flea bites.
Still,we make documentaries with tacked on happy endings
We cannot bear the weight death despair sinks us.SMILE!
YOU ARE ON CANDID CAMERA!(all 200 of them in one London day)
