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)

DO YOU COME WITH APPS?

Are your attachments optional?
That MATRIX you are plugged into-
does it reveal your location like a GPS?
Are you ON CALL @all times?
Do you continuously text or Tweet?
Can we interest you in this program
which gives you access to the Grid?
Unlike those lonely Liberationists
who unplug  on acres with food stocks
awaiting Armageddon with guns and god
You can slip through Security with this trustee pass
We just need a few more personal details
Fill in these forms.Show some ID and a valid credit card
The Officer at the next checkpoint
will examine every personal item.
You have the right to carry .A knife is not a weapon.
You say you are a musician?My son used to play guitar..

...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.
