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?"

SO THE HEAD OF TWITTER IS IN TO BITCOIN

So Elon Musk and Grimes are in to NFTs

So Bill Gates sees this as transformational communities

So where the Third World in this virtual playground?

Billionaire space tourists. Buying private islands. Flying private jets

With private codes for privitized wealth packets.

Creation?or creators?Always a Third Party(Ethereum)with a cut

Gotta have a wallet to store yr digital codes

What of those who have nothing? Just the skin they stand in?

Refugees slipping past Borders of perception. One percent =99%of everything.

Just another blip on the NASDAQ..Just virtual stock on the Market Forces

Reinforcing economic oligarchy.No-i am not jealous.

Just mildly bemused-at what they think is precious.

Once it was metals. Then metal futures. Now an image 

Prefer substance to image. Prefer people to market forces.

Prefer freedom to manipulation.
