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?"

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME
WE WANT SO MUCH TO BE LOVED
We embrace abusers. Welcome them back with flags and fireworks.
Loyal we are, companions in affection. If the abuser claims victimhood, we believe 
If they want us to lose our individuality, we concede. Bad ju-ju. Worse medicine.
Our whole nation with a hole in her soul. THEIR ABUSER HAS LEFT!
and did not pardon them, and may soon be impeached.
So what if people died for him? WE LIVED FOR HIM!
WE SO MUCH WANTED HIM TO BE WORTHY OF OUR EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT IN HIM
We so much wanted to be warmed by his Gemini smile,his diet coke and McDonalds habits.
So what if he never jogged? His doctors lied for him.We lied to ourselves about his A1C.
His rapes upon democracy.No matter how many women shared truth testimony-
about assaults upon their body and dignity, women still flocked to him. They voted for him. Christians voted for him.
Some claimed him as "God's Agent". They explained the rapes and prostitution as "human error",
forgetting his hand was also on our nuclear codes. A RED BUTTON issue. He returns.
From Mar-a -Lago he will Return. A Second Coming. Another False Messiah.
O HOW WE LOVED HIM ONCE....JUST ASK QANON.

...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.
