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?"

FERAL,INVISIBLE

Possum lives longer than armadillo

Icons die from slowness

Fox merges with invisible

like some feral cat, suburban.

Goats of the sea are sharks

Old as crocodiles, schooled

with pilot fish, guiding. Remorae.

Cockroach ,rat ,mosquito, fly

last longer than birds and bees.

Ancient ark .Two of every creature

including kangaroo,emu,goanna,echidna.

Insects?They eat the wood of beams

Termites.Larvae.Infiltrating.

One world for eyes ,circuses, zoos

Other for the feral/ all invisible-inside you...

ENCOMIENDAS

Clash between economic and religious powers

Slavery regarded Native Americans as objects

They were not paid.They had no rights.

Christianity preached equality

but it came up against the status quo,

when landowners see human beings as property.

Politics,religion,economics clash-

those who survive via slavery will never change.

These attitudes remain.Equality on all levels

a prayer,affirmation,petition.Meanwhile,farmers and miners

demand free labor of Native Americans.Slavery intrinsic for profits,

when human rights are seen- as an economic loss...

VILLAGE FAIRS 2021

RENAISSANCE FAIRS TO STRAWBERRY FAIR

Stalls of hand made home made artifacts

Earrings,pendants,brooches -all portable and priced

Surrounded by high priced food stalls with long lines

Yes-they still sell knives and leather goods..

Henna tattoos from tattooed stall holders

But modern stalls hawk CBD,gay stickers,astrologically inclined trinkets

These will be carved,forged,created from bending copper wires

Stones,rocks,crystals will be sold-all that glitters is not gold

Creators sit patiently like fisherfolk to reel their customers in

Curiosity  and attraction to bright shiny things.Parents share dollars for children's art.

Everywhere it is as green and golden as a park .Ancient the exchange of culture for gold

The content may be new-but the forms are all old

Hear the click of credit card machines as the future is sold.

COAL IN MY STOCKING

MY FATHER WORKED ON STEAM TRAINS

Powered by coal ,as the first automobiles were

I remember the coal dust and air particles and soot

that filled my eyes and hair and face. Ugly. Polluting .All we had.

Childhood saw transition to diesel-still with fumes

but less physical pollution. D.H Lawrence writes 

about not wanting to go down in the(coal) mines

as his father and grandfather did before him.

Margaret Thatcher closed down those coal mines

The air became cleaner-the water too

Earth relieved from intrusive unsafe coal mines.

But what do workers do-when their only income is terminated?

Those huge windmills only require truck drivers and maintenance workers

Solar panels ditto-all specialized jobs

And the scale is huge-taller than me and you

I do not want coal to pollute air,water,earth-or you and me

I want renewable energy systems, Please..
