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 appearances 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)

GOODBYE MOUNTAINS!
(Hello-memories of mountains..)

Goodbye rivers-Hello Nature Documentaries
Farewell Parks-the Budget Cuts..
Fare thee well Endangered Species
Change that to "Exterminated Species"
Vale Country-Hello SubDivisions!
Bye Bye Wilderness-This Will Be The Spot For a Shopping Village!
Improvement! Development!Progress!
We will not let Gaia rest.Bastrop has fires  and F1
World has become a Parking Station.
1% get Valet,the rest on street park
or pay at a station to avoid those new parking fines
Move along!There is nothing to see here!
If there were trees once-now it is ALL CLEAR!

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
