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)

LIGHT MARRIED DARKNESS
WHEN THEY SPLIT(like Clint Eastwood/Ukraine from Russia
Light tried to set up a parallel government.Volunteers imitated functionaries
Represented themselves in the Court Of Public Opinion(like Hutt River Province)
Media was selective about embracing another Colored Spring/Revolution
Stasis is inertial .Only acronyms went Underground to promote/provoke reactions
Random bombings in the dark of night,renditions,tortures condoned via editorials
who cast all public figures in cartoon black and white.Pop star pedophiles prosecuted.
Politicians revealed still in Congress.Priests and preachers absolved from punishments.
Even the Pope had two faces-Old and New Testamental attunements.Morality watched
and waited for a winner.After pix of refugees and demonstrations(LIVE! on drone camera!)

Hollywood sought options for bio flicks.Starring Tom Cruise,Tom Hanks,Tom Sawyer,Uncle Tom...

...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.
