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!!"

WARS & WIVES
You know of TEMUJIN
for a Great (Mongol)Empire /war born long ago
but did you know he did "bride-service"?
that his first wife (BORTE)was older than him
and initiated him in sexual intimacies?
@the age of nine,his father(YESUGEI)
who had another(older)son (BEGTER)
by his first wife (SOCHIGEL)
took this future Genghis Khan
from his mother (HOELUN)
across the ONON River
where he camped with a family
whose daughter liked Temujin
Intimate relationships affect macro-alliances
We know Genghis Khan for wars and Empires

Less for his growth through intimacies and desires..

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
