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)

IN MAY 2013

no telegraph,no telegram,no semaphore nor Morse 
your phone does not have rotary dial nor curled cord
some cars drive themselves(free from possibilities of DWI)
some drugs are legal-work,food,love,habit,duty
some robots displace some working people
There is a space station orbiting
There are many satellites orbiting
There is a flag on the moon and a camera on Mars
Soon we may have an ice-free Arctic Circle
Chemtrails and aircraft kerosene tracks criss-cross above us
Technology is used to trace ,trace,survey and keep us under surveillance
Our only earth is a closed system.Do we have room for 7 billion ashes?

...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.
