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?"

WORDS HAVE POWER
Ask Alex Jones,whose school massacre denials have bankrupted him
Ask Joe Rogan,targeting people via his podcasts
Ask donald trump,whose speeches incited riots at the Capitol
Hate speech turns to violence once released
Targeting of community groups(migrants,refugees,trans people)kills..
Words can be flowers and weapons-ask any magician/preacher/politician/orator
Spells are cast that steal the lives of those spoken against.
Before the weapon is pointed,words seek the target
Each of us has been targeted at some time
Libel,slander,defamation turn weaponized when applied
We want every body to survive
The cost of hate speech is far too high..

...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.
