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?"
VASTARE
Parts of our only life support system are dying-
air,water,earth,fire all need reprieve
from our heavy metal carbon footprint-
from fracking and strip mining,over-fishing
We took without regard for limits/depleted
uranium underneath/and in our Holy Waters-plastics
Oil and Gas industries choking birds ,seas,fish
Peace means more than absence of conflict
More than cessation of hostilities-peace is life itself
Singing through all elements and peoples
To love and to live,and allow life -freedom
From us and all who would oppress by taking
Rather than seeding in new trees,in a New Eden
