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)

ART vs MARKETS
You are art and always have been
born from seed as well as dream
unframed like a moon night sky
Star in the firmament of your own eyes
Place you on a pedestal/
Find you tagged and vulnerable!
People get what you are saying
Sometimes even what you are spraying
Walls and prisons are everywhere
Art ! I need to know you care...


I LOVE this man... Banksy you rule my world.
A month in review.
