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?"
WHAT WE DO WITH EACH OTHER
What we do to each other
Is not this more important than climate change?
"Military cultures cause civilian deaths"
is as old as Macbeth.In our Age,
random shootings,school massacres
are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to slaughter.
We eat meat-"Meat is Murder"(according to The Smiths)
We clear-cut trees and strip mine and frack
We make a mess of our borrowed habitat
So the rise in violence is tied to our environmental damage.
And "evil"is just a judgement,rather than a verdict.
Violence has become digital entertainment.Anomie.Distraction.
We get used to news of wars ,occupations,travesties
While our only planet burns and floods
We cut,shoot,kill bomb anyone who disagrees
And even those who do.
