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?"

"SHECESSION"
Since February 2020,four million jobs have been lost
Over half of these (service,hospitality)were jobs done by women
Since September 2021,300,000 women have left the workforce.
Delta variant.Lack of child care.Required multi-tasking leads to burnout.
Day care centers and nursing homes jacked up prices,lowered enrollments,or closed down.
In particular,this affected Black and Hispanic women.November 2021 saw 91,000 black women leave work.
Word is,women experience micro-aggressions /harassment in the workplace.
In 2021,work weeks extended by 10%.One in three women contemplate downshifting careers,
updating their resumes,or leaving the workplace entirely.65% of millennial women prefer working remotely.
Hybrid work is the future-but only if child care and burnout issues are addressed.
Women in the work force has changed the very nature of nurturing-self and others.
POSITIONS VACANT signs will remain,until health,equality ,respect become employment essentials.

...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.
