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)

TO THE STARS
ENDERS RUN ,ELYSIUM,STAR WARS,STAR TREK-
all of these have star qualities/human interactions
projected into space.(My  star sign is "Twinkle!")
Watching them,i learn nothing about dark space,nor dark matter
We carry our space diapers and space junk with us
Privatize space programs as ye will-all will be falling back to earth
(hopefully to vaporize upon descent-falling into Titanic oceans
Yet some day,all deserts will be for storage of obsolete aircraft/spacecraft
Stripped and pirated for parts,skeletons Halloween haunt us in video clips of
ZARDOZ remakes,THE LAST STARFIGHTER and children's drone toys 
Cartoons and TV shows(SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON)
prepare us for ALIENS and PROMETHEUS.In space ,no one can hear you fall.
This is why we employ Hollywood stars  for ARMAGEDDON and 2012
Name recognition so much more than astrology /astronomy combined
Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mars and Uranus

Landing on the moon in a Houston TV studio.Now for THE RIGHT STUFF!

...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.
