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?" 


SCIENCE&MYTH
WHILE WE ARE SHARING (Cacophony of Crafts
He is staring @his blank face white computer screen
He is researching "Appropriate Use of Language"
Aware of Wittgenstein and maths codings
he applies science to language,and one comes out smiling
Science may have come from Myth,yet it is still growing
Unlike Latin,Gaelic or that French Academy's "McDonalds" conundrum
Many have tried to "tidy up"English .All have failed!
George Bernard Shaw left in his will his desire for a phonetic English.FAIL
Esperanto attempted a Universal Language.FAIL
Yet maths codes and computer speak  with their symbolic logic rule
You can attempt to  reduce these sense units to equations and codes

But then-is not always  something lost-in translation?

...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.
