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!!" 

WELCOME TO YOUR FUTURE!

AS THE PARENTS PERFORMED@RAD RADAM

they integrated their children into their own independence

Handing the mike so they might sing along(@age two!

a relaxed acceptance for all ages and presentations suffused all

Careful and professional,mothers brought their beloved children

to the open stage to the open mike to this opened night

so we might see what our future might be like.Each as diverse

as their parents.Each took the challenge in their young hands

and sang and spoke with bravery and panache!Their elders rejoiced!

For womb wet  children to feel empowered enabled their parents to go further

Echoes of Ruta Maya,the HIDEOUT  and so many truly open stages

with positive discrimination for the very young/came to mind.

Young did not know there was anything before their time

Their time is now.Our future is theirs..So we share..
