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)


THE END OF FUTURISM

THERE IS NO IDEA THAT IS NOT REPEATED.REPEATED
Retro are the rockets that transport us."We stare into the future
with rear vision glasses"(McLuhan).Carriage becomes car becomes cell phone.
Bentham becomes Mills.Liberal morphs into Libertarian.
Legalize it! becomes"Decriminalize!".Censorship expands
until we can no longer envision life without ratings.
Remove police/watch crime mutate.Tax drugs .
Make ideas Universal!100% recycling of car parts in Germany
100%renewable energies as in Iceland.In Japan,all trash bags are transparent.
In Austin,all shopping bags recyclable.In Australia,currency is plastic.
We now have plastic in our food chain and our oceans!
Cleaning up ex-military bases and bomb testing sites will take aeons
As for Fukushima...

In this British Pathé clip, fashion designers predict what the future of fashion will be. It mostly involves removable sleeves and adjustable-length gowns, though there is a nifty cantilevered heel design shown.

  1. There may be noticeably a bundle to find out about this. I assume you made certain good points in options also...Optical Express Daily It was a nice experience when I explore Optical express daily. I’ve got all the information I needed. And now, with all the games I do – from running and riding to water games and skiing – specs have been a true annoyance, and I've never been agreeable with lenses since they leave my eyes red and crude.

...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.
