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?"

"rumble past its landfill future"(ric williams)

until we can stare at our mess

until all plastic transforms

until the packaging industry meets Depression

until cemeteries become Real Estate

WE ARE IN TRANSITION

Post-Singularity?Post-Truth?Post-Art?

or Post-It notes on our STILL TO DO future-

1.fix this mess

2.make no more mess

3.stop valuing mess

bodies clog.cities gridlock

black people in chokeholds

"I CAN'T BREATHE!"(New National Anthem)

News clogs brains with violence

Peace is left to clear up the mess

SUPERFUND sites of military occupations

Quaker musicians to restore harmonies

Indigenous wisdom to clear away cliches

1.we can't get through space junk

2.our oceans are choking with sewage

3.fresh water fracked to death

Health Care is a Corporation

Healing is an Industry

Doctors and Nurses get Covid,too

FIX THIS MESS!Gaia says

I CAN'T HEAR YOU...
