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?"

JADED WE ARE WITH FAUX NEWS/FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS
Awash with conspiracy theories ,lizard people ,UFOs and ETs
FORGET THE ALAMO exposes a jingoistic attempt at propaganda
to make this military massacre a RIGHTEOUS cause
forgetting the flawed folk who fought and died on both sides.
Soap opera films by JOHN WAYNE in 1960 need countermanding by modern updates in 2004
and by new books issued in 2021,famously not featured at the Texas History Museum.
Mix myth and magic,Hollywood and Texas,stars and directors,authors and screenplay writers
and you will never see THE ALAMO as a stable or war cemetery or Indigenous area again.
The actual Alamo is small,and central to San Antonio.Renovations have been queried,and its history revised.
Human remains have been found,and it is a present archaeological dig.
Native tribes request reburial rights for their ancestors.The site of The Alamo is central 
to every user and abuser of the property.Truth falls to myth and legend
Schools in Texas will not teach Critical Race Theory but they will pledge allegiance
to the Myth of the Alamo.

...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.
