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?"

"DISTRUST JUSTIFIES DECEPTION"

Most telephone calls are spam or scams

So i engage them with false accents and cry baby stories

Medicare fraud endemic-"Free"services billed to Medicare (never received)

I was fooled by the THREE PEA CUP trick in Spain

Had all i owned stolen by party "guests"(and burglars)

Admit to having SECURITY signs and fake cameras to discourage looting

but still put out FREE FOOD AND BOOKS in a Little Library

With most politicians,one must ask"Who are you serving?"

Same for most lawyers .Not necessary for poets(no one believes them..

Shakespeare was right-"A dog's obeyed in office".No King knows he is naked.

It takes a fool like Jacques to tell the truth-same with Poor Tom

Whistleblowers get prison.Satirists get ignored.Sometimes,someone listens..

Then we see things THE WAY THEY REALLY ARE..and micro-dose those realities away...
