THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 within 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?" 

 UPDATING CLICHES
TROPHES&MODES HAVE CHANGED
What with robo-intelligences,AI and clones
Now you can deliver poison tipped umbrellas via drones!
Sarin in subways/Fukushima sushi-
There are a million ways to die!
Try EXTREME SPORTS,O new Hitchcocks
Special effects still require stunt persons
whether it be Bond or Bourne=mayhem aplenty!
Assassins have gone from ninja to nano-
Bacteria warfare,ecoli ,salmonella
Countries in chaos make more  mass graves!
Writers need to update their cliches!

...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.
