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)

REWRITING HISTORY

SOMETIMES FORGET(post 9/11)
we are living history/fossils from the 60s
alive through too many wars/overload of music
our information is monitored yet not shared
whistleblowers prosecuted in a post-Snowden era
when can we survey our government security agencies?
to see where our time and money has been wasted?
False flag operations,propaganda flagwaving
Who has not been "got at"in this age of Machiavellians?
PEACE and LOVE are comfortable cliches
when they become real,China will be as free as Tibet
Two Koreas will be one,Russia will free her citizen dissenters
and we will finally discover who killed Kennedy/Marilyn/MLK
and every conspiracy theory will be explained by the aliens among us..

...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.
