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?"

MEMORIAL NIGHT

I WOUL D NOT BE HERE WITHOUT YOU-

Every pacifist, Every Quaker, Every poet /musician

who carries a dream for a peaceful future.

i want no butchered, tortured journalists

i want civil rights and civil liberties

i want no civilians bombed in their homes

i want the defunding of militarists

and the de-arming of killers

Support for a civilian culture on all levels,for all ages

In this there is a simple equality-

no racism,sexism,ageism,ableism-

All of us equal in the sharing of peace

All of us alive and only this memorial-

simple as trust in our humynity
