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?"

SHE WAS IN CHARGE OF TRANSFUSIONS
UNTIL SHE CAUGHT COVID
Having warned all about the necessity for masks,
hand washing and social distancing.Her other nurses
ignored basic hygiene,pilloried her professionalism,
basically wore her down to the point of extinction.
When Covid first hit,he served in New York Hospitals
They were desperate-he worked till he dropped.
His nursing skills banned in Texas due to law violations
He applied love care and compassion to those on the front lines..
Puzzling when Doctors refuse necessary health care to pregnant women/girls,
when WALGREENS staff refuse contraception "on religious grounds"
I LOVE the Doctrine of Separation of Powers-that church and state are autonomous entities
Many in Texas have no health care.State Government diverts health funds to Border shams.
Small towns turn right wing,not remembering who we fought against in World War Two.
Fascism Lives!Racism.Ageism.Ableism-education may be the key to change
In our lifetime,may our votes begin now-seeking those who will love and care
rather than those who care only for power over others.LONG LIVE ALL OF US!

...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.
