THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling 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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

"END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!" (again!)

Remember y2K?Remember those Millennial Christians

predicting THE END(and amending dates as required)?

Remember Mormons storing food rations in bomb shelters?

Recall the Nostradamus wave of prophecies construed contemporaneously?

Remember Waco?David Koresh?The burning of his bunker to the ground?

While folk are getting their rocks off on the Apocalypse

we be making Rapture with Sacred Sounds.

LEVITATE NOW(and avoid the rush!)-bumper sticker philosophies

crowd novelty stores.Every Tsunami predicts End Times.

Yet this Earth has had atomic testing,water fracking,earthquake splitting

and constant and compounding abuse of every element.Yet -here we are!

there are no guarantees.We all see death in every mirror.Yet-every morning-

another gift of time arrives on our doorstop heart.It is a conditional gift!

It requires vigilance,nurturing,love and respect.Do these!Avoid death!

MAYA FOR MAYANS

Julian Calendar for Christians,Moon Calendar for Wiccans

Augustan Calendar for Romans,desk calendar for office workers

Maya still exist in Guatemala and Chiapas

Romans still exist (although now called Italians)

Christians still exist(though divided in many factions)

and our moon still exists for more than pagans

waves rise in adoration (for her pull is gravitational

cycles and seasons within women (menstrual

lunatics were so named for the moons' effect on all

almanacs plant in moon season cycles directional

Divide one world via religion,wars and borders

Moon will not obey-she still beams above us all

And when you land a flag upon her face

You still have to leave-as yet no moon base

Moon still cycles round one sun

as it has from before the dawn of our sidereal time

Endings are such artificial constructions

Watch the moon tonight!She will illuminate all seasons!

Water knows!Sea of Tranquility was named for a reason!

let the End Of the World come for calendars of Mayans

Let Moon men and Women spin in cycles ad infinitem!
