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 and 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!!"

POST-VISUAL WORLD

Everyone with a Smartphone is a photographer

Everyone with a camera is a documentarian/director

Our world as digital as edit and forget/fast forward/rewind/refresh

Can you remember yesterday's headlines/disasters?

How about last week/month/year/decade/century/millennia?

Do not worry!It will all be recycled!Chenobyl morphs into Fukushima

Disney into Pixar.Every film you have ever seen will have a sequel/prequel/TV series spinoff.

Comic.con makes imaginary characters immortal for Peter Pan Neverland addicts

And we will never know those myths and legends they stole from

because pre-Grimm,pre-Carroll,pre-Norse,we we never told..

Every Myth is Real.Every Legend Repeats.Recycling occurs on every level

Spin your own mythology!Begin a start-up/Kickstarter/GoFundme

Watch as the world moves on...
