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?"

NO TYRANT FATHER FIGURES
GO AWAY ANGRY MAN!
Go away Yahweh/Sumerian Storm Gods/White Patriachs
Go away from your guns/your bad temper/your rapes
Empty tub-thumping bullies/separate and separated from your origins
You waste our time and space and energies
You get free rent in our heads every time you Press Conference
We would rather listen to love,facts,science,truth
We prefer care ,compassion,humility,kindness  and goodness
One million lawsuits will descend upon you and your fellow jackals
They ride with you-white vigilantes/afraid (like KKK)of losing power
They have already lost.True power is service(not self-serve!)
Toxic TV hosts FOX viewers.Toxic Tweets confuse us.
Mass hypnotism of impending fascism.Go to Russia!Seek sanctuary there.
Your ratings drop like wars.We want peace.We want to feel secure
from militants on our streets with long guns.They are no "well-ordered" militia
TAKE THEM WITH YOU AS YOU GO-we have already voted
you OFF the Island(Turtle Island)NOW GO!
We have much healing to do,to continue..

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
