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 YOU CANNOT USE @AMAZON

LENNY BRUCE HAD DIFFERENT WORDS,

as did George Carlin."THE FIVE WORDS YOU CANNOT USE ON TV"

Lenny would recite them,and be hauled off by police.Obscenity

is in the eyes of undercover police.Censorship is always political.

So when STARBUCKS staff seek to Unionize,media becomes politicized/weaponized,

and the wishes of workers ignored and vilified.Now the word is out-UNIONIZE!

Covid has cut the unemployment rate,and some workers will never return

to low-paying and abusive employment conditions.So-to AMAZON..

Where the workers are task-timed,and suffer from RSI.Management

comes up with a "CHAT APP"to "increase morale"-but certain words are verboten.

"Slave labor","grievance","living wage"-and the worker's word-"Union"

You cannot say these words that must be spoken.It is Spring of 2022,

and Unions are the front line topic for every workplace and Corporation.

To censor this discussion only propels the Union movement into action.

Starbucks first,next-Amazon.

WHAT DO BEES KNOW?

THAT EVEN TINY WINGS DEFEAT GRAVITY

That we are all part of the process

That flowers are for pollinating

That gardens are this world

Eden stronger than Armageddon

That Spring means New Life

Even if brief as butterfly's wings

Bees busy with the Buzz,Man!

They sing as they work as they play

Flower to flower,garden to garden

Making Life grow golden in the glowing

It is Spring!Season for pollen and nectar

Forager bees scouting for nectar

to feed the brood,Queen Bee and worker bees..

Not all bees are honey bees!Each trip=100 flowers!

Some 4-5 miles of flower territory!.Apis Genus precious!

Each honeybee produces only 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey ..

We devour !Leave some honey for the winter,to prevent swarming

Love the bees ,birds,butterflies of brief creation

Their sweetness makes this world sing!

NO FRUITS.NO VEGETABLES

Everything requires pollination.

Busy bees ,counting time in tiny wings

Buzz their honey back to Queen base

Industrial Hive Mind Aware/Returning

to remembered flowers,as if scent

could lead them into sweetness

DRINK OF ME!(And they do!

And we drink in their honey,too

And wonder what we would do

With yellow stripes and such tiny wings

And only flowers to sing and sting within...

RAVENS & CROWS

"QUOTH THE RAVEN.."

And we do

But that raven is silent

on that bust of Pallas

Nevermore shall he cawk like crow

Ravens silent on the workings of gallows

They only seek to feed

upon what follows..

Tower of London is a tourist attraction

Where Edgar Allen Poe would be in fashion

For the ravens there are sentinels

They have the longest occupations..

Crows CAWK! on the farmers fence

They have sharp eye and beaks

They know where their meat exists

inside the bodies of smaller rodents

Both share a black that echoes in cries

BLAAACK! you hear before you see them fly

One has a purple cackle grackle style

But black owns them all.Perhaps because

they embody Lower Worlds/Underworlds

They are harbingers of death and violence

There is no "one' raven or crow to bow down to

more a shock of black wings gathered,huddled

in conference-as to what to do with us.

We await their verdict-like that farmer with his gun

He does not care-crow or raven..
