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)

ABUSERS
WORLD S GOT TALENT!
So you have a jury
say three or four faces you know
who pass judgement upon souls who
have survived auditions among thousands who wish
to be THE ONE who wins-
a.a recording contract
b.applause and acceptance
c.paid gigs because of this freebie
Nervousness,an audience,soap opera camerawork
Tension,music,a studio.Finally-a winner!
Which makes all others losers.So 99% go home less
for 1% to feel more! PROMOTE EVERY VOICE!
Get to your live open mikes and stand your ground!
Your wings await you!
