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?"

SPOTLIGHT HUNTING

TO HYPNOTIZE BOTH HUNTED &WITNESSES

via selective prosecution. Hanged man killed

for loads of age old cruelties. Not just for what he did.

Like a policeman in prison(or a pedophile).Justice

is meted by public opinion./"Trial by Headline"

And we are pointed where to hate and hurt and hunt.

Told who is white and right and who is blacklisted.

Cancel Culture still selective as pointed fingers

Jury selection difficult for Republicans. Mob rule

is blunt as guillotine. Lynchings and burnings.

When the simple public is told where to aim their anger

Best to leave that shooting gallery. Scatter shot criticisms

can kill innocent bystanders. Tulsa,Oklahoma. KKK bombings.

White terrorism the predominant destructive social mechanism.

12 Angry men. To Kill a Mockingbird.Every courtroom drama

Every whodunnit.Every murder mystery.Every film noir.

Random as capital punishment on Death Row Records.
If you cannot handle the rap,stay off the streets of public opinion.
