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)

MONSTERS,ROBOTS,MUTANTS 
making movies disasters

Much prefer a garden.Silence.Quietude.Sleeping.Meditation

Division of us into monsters and victims makes this a world of walls

One goes down in Berlin-another rises in Bethlehem.

All conflict is family based-humanity  is larger than fratricide

Cain and Abel/Abraham and Isaac-better myths offer themselves for us

than crucifixations and imagined resurrections.Why persecute/prosecute?

There is room for Palestine and Jerusalem.History is past/passed

In this mode/moment-choice allows us to differ -to walk together

Here comes Art,Music ,Love -please do not shoot!

They are writing different scripts/enchanting gentle songs

Imagine that!Human beings being human.Easy!Star Peace.YES!

The movie of Bed Peace makes more .Little Republicans of the Possible.

You have your life in our hands.Do not drop it!You do not need to be afraid-

of monsters,robots,mutants,your future.Armageddon,Resurrection,Rapture?

or just laying in bed together-making private harmonies public-

singing,drawing,writing,giving one's inner life-to add to yours-as you watch

and start to feel   very   sleeeppppyyyyy...
