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)

RECEIVED DECISION
BEGIN WITH"I LOVE!"
amo amas amat amamus amatus amant
so many loves in one little Roaming lifeline!
Mama Papa Siblings Peers
Lovers Friends Acquaintances
Strangers .Competitors.Enemies
Energies for all of these!Empathies!
WE over I.Co-op over compete.Easy!
Every line has two directions/every sound more meanings
Motion intrinsic -we are in a film,not a still life(documentary
There are no subtitles on emotions.Yet you overstand.
Barometers of WHAT YOU SAY vs WHAT YOU DO
and then there are the eternal questions ..of death,pain,suffering ,meaning
Avoid these gridlocked traffic jams and your life will be

plane sailing!

...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.
