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?"
CANNOT EAT MENUS
of paper and promises
Nor share aromas of fictional courses
I know breatharians survive
upon the air we all imbibe
Nothing substantial there-just air
Like an Indian raga or Irish lay
But air alone will not sustain me
Insubstantial promises just drain me
I will eat at a real buffet
when democracy is not a piece of paper
like Treaties broken with Indigenous
Nutritious the organic taste
of crops of volunteers,donating sweat equity
to build a New America,we can taste in the wind...
