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?"

OUR FUTURE TOO WILL HAVE TO BE SMALLER
TO FIT IN WITH HEALTH REGULATIONS
We may have to be masked for miles
Socially distanced,hand sanitized
When they dig up the Covid casualties
Like Black Death and Auschwitz
There may be Covid museums
with failed vaccines /Presidents
The thinner winners will look in
having paid for admission via Regulations
imposed during lockdown,when schools were closed
like Libraries/because the infection of knowledge
is perennial.Covid children now used
to restrictions imposed in their growing.
They will tell their children how many we lost
Those who would not listen.Those who paid the cost
of denial/of Science..

...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.
