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)

FREE CITIZENS OF PEACE
WE HAVE TO LEARN/Re-learn
how to be @peace.How to connect/re-
connect with all living beings.How to
melt walls and cages into homes for homeless
How to use less,recycle more,share all.
Arts of peace are active-they require attention
To be alive in this world is a conditional gift
It will be taken back @the end
When we come in to this world
Le Voyeur or slap bottomed
we emerge between conflict/co-operation
Seeking freedom ,becoming peacefilled citizens
growing as gardens grow-with weeds and wild plants within
Free range,feral,fine,friendly,furry creatures

some call human beings!

...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.
