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?" 


IN EVERY STAR WARS HOME
Light sabers are clashing/masked stormtroopers  in costume
making bundles of boodle on merchandising.Roman legions resurrect
in this film that steals ideas and images from Kurosawa to John Ford.
"A Western in Space",with duels,shoot-outs,heroes and Flash Gordon villains.
EVERY BODY wants to see this.I prefer Yoko Ono's STAR PEACE.
IMAGINE if Art was not violence and conflict sold as children's fantasy
Fans of STAR TREK dismayed at the dumbed-down explosions sold as concepts
Hollywood,California has a lot to answer for-directing our fantasies towards
destruction  and desolation rather than solutions via science-fiction.
DUNE deserves better.2001 ,GRAVITY,INTERSTELLAR,THE MARTIAN all begin
our collective directed astral ancestral rocketry towards Moon and Mars exploration.

We do not need star WARS.We need STAR PEACE,please..

...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.
