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)

BOOMERANGS

RIGHT OF RETURN
Fish want to return to the sea
(when it is not radioactive O Fukushima!
Whales want to return to the deep
O sonar !O nuclear submarines!O sewage!
Trees want to return to the land
O elders!o multi-species!o timber industries!
Crystals have a role in the earth
Place them back where they live in rainforests
Leave the Amazon alone!O Oxygen factories!
Extractive industries?You frack earthquakes!Water slurries
Who can drink sand ?Sinkholes and sadness
Earth wants to return to Eden.Unlock SECURITY !
Restore peace ,harmonies,prosperity.Ask your pomegranate and your snake
about naked choices...

...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.
