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?"

LAND GRABS
ANCIENT AS DISPOSSESSION
Threatened species via stolen habitat
Deliberate killing of bison and Native Americans
Killing of sharks,whales,dolphins.Drift net over-fishing.
Land clearing.Tree killing.Strip mining.Fracking.
Turning Gaia into a mining dump/a war zone.
When trees are AVATARed,whence tree dwellers?
Same for all the creatures of true wilderness..
Climate refugees.Refugee camps.Reservations.
Cycles of dispossession.Crushing of Original Cultures.
Bye bye languages,customs.Farewell,diversities.
Monolithic mono-cultural tree plantations/industrial farming
To regain civilian uses from battlefield abuses-Re-wild!
Return land to Original Habitat-no introduced species
Until fish flow free,birds escape guns
We will not be safe.What is done to them
is(in time)be done to all of us..Palestine.Eretria.Sudan.Somalia.Uvalde.Ukraine.

...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.
