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)

ENERGY CRISIS
S/HE IS TIRED.S/HE WORKS LONG HOURS
Takes energy drinks,eats energy bars,go to gym
Still feels fracked @the end of a long day.Crisis!
Elementally speaking,maybe s/he might try windsurfing
Riding the curl of imaginary energy swirls when s/he meditates
Perhaps yoga,Tai Chi,stretching exercises for mobility
Whether acoustic or electric,machines for transport
still require some form of battery.Here is where your heart becomes analogy
When flatlined,endtimed,one can do no good for your world
All those dead poets will never write another line!Same with singers!
While we are alive,we have this gift of time.Music of life is a sound track
Listening,absorbing,creating,expressing-both human and divine

To re create /aligns.Tithe your time!

...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.
