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?"
ON GAIA,ALL EARTH HAS DIFFERENT GODS
TO THE TIGUA PEOPLE OF YSLETA DEL SUR'
Castner Range is the home of their culture,traditions,
heritage and history.The Avi Kwa Ame(Spirit Mountain)
is a sacred burial mound for the Mojave,Chemehuevi
and some Southern Paiute peoples.It is also home
to some of the world's largest Joshua Tree forests,
as well as habitat for desert bighorn sheep and desert tortoises.
But Castner Range has other gods-as a training and test site
for the U.S. Army during World War 11,the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Unexploded ordinance at Fort Bliss creates a safety risk,cutting off all public access.
Now ,as a National Monument,this ancestral home of Comanche and Apache people
will be "protected from development".534,000 acres of the Franklin Mountains..
Fort Bliss ordnance vs Ancestral home for pictographs,petroglyphs,pottery pieces..
Which do you value most?
