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?"
WINGS OVER WALLS
CANNOT GO BACK
Even if wanted to
2021 one million moments ago
Do not even speak of 2020
Necessity of expression becomes paramount
Curtailed/beaten down/censored
Defied/defiled/diluted by all who would make small
all those who are by nature tall-
Flying winged ones clipped by gun carriers
tote bag carrying tiki torching bearded angry young men
Wanting control-over abortion/women's bodies
Wanting control-over school curriculum/trance-gendering
Wanting control-over everyone and everything
Only the free can fly above those walls
They are busy building more
While we are building bigger better
Wings Over Walls...
