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!!"

MAKE MINE MOVIES!

My memories have been replaced by movie images

CITIZEN KANE instead of Donald Trump

THE SEARCHERS instead of Jeb Bush

BREATHLESS ?Hilary Clinton

WINGS OF DESIRE?=Bernie Sanders!

THE SEVEN SAMURAI-Perry,Cruz,Huckabee,Christie etc

like Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs/each makes a fraction of required

Hollywood the true capital of America.Ronald Reagan actually began STAR WARS

Politicians quote pop lyrics as anthems and refrains in their campaigns

Neil Young had to request that his work not be used by Trump

after reminding them1.he is Canadian 2.he is for Bernie Sanders.

Like a pizza with pieces missing,i substitute  movie legends

just as Clint Eastwood addressed an empty chair(unsuccessfully)

You see-movies have more authenticity than any politician's promises

and i remind myself they are good value for entertainment

and will not give me emotional gridlock in the morning..
