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!!" 

NO BODY OWNS
"IN TIME"(we are
Counted art beats.pulse clocks
Good medicine words(chants
invocations,petitions-manifest
who knows when /how?
Through which agency-healing?
Connection to Source?or oneself?
Alignment with feng shui/tai chi/yoga/Reiki?
or channels to a Greater Field?
Practice is never Perfection
An apple a day may keep a horse alive
The early bird might get the worm
The worm might turn.Every cliche may be true
But no one knows.This is why we live

without ever knowing ...

...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.
