"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?"
ONCE PAXTON,ABBOTT and PATRICK ARE GONE
Once those Confederate Statues are stored in Museums
Once police personally pay for any violence committed
then Texas will come into the sunshine
Once oil,gas,fracking state and Federal subsidies cease
Once country hospitals,schools,Internet are supported
Once Medicare and Medicaid are expanded
Texas will be worthy of her pioneers
Once racism is dealt with via community service
Once sexism is fined out of existence
Once ageism is negated via professional elder care
Texas will walk proudly into the 21st Century
Of course-we need renewable energies supplies
Of course,repair and restoration of wilderness areas
And parks,gardens,recreation centers need to expand
New Texas is awaiting the call...Old Texas can learn new lessons,.y'all!
