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?"
TOBACCO IS A SACRED PLANT
ASK SIR WALTER RALEIGH
He brought it back to England
Now we have smoking industries
Corporate products are more dangerous
Filled with preservatives and phosphorus
Addictive,cancer-causing,epidemic
Promoted via advertising industries
Of course-warnings on each pack
In Australia-on every cigarette
Of course,taxed for Government profit
Yet still -new JUUL,vaping,addictions
Smoke shops,bongs,paraphernalia-
Watch what is happening in Australia-
high taxation as a "luxury item"
Seeking to cut down on corporate cigarette addiction
One day,the cancer rate will drop,when we stop
imbibing corporate poisons.Roll our own again
Tobacco will again-be good medicine
