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?"

 GOOD MEDICINE
IT IS GOOD TO REMEMBER!
(it is necessary to forget..
Were we to sit  and see and feel
our empathy might free Palestine
soften wounded Syria,open Iraq and Iran
to creative cultural continuities(again!
Make more flowers than opium in Afghanistan
and solar power Libya so no oil or gas ISIS might explode us
To dream Bernie Sanders President /Elizabeth Warren Vice
might just allow the Uni-Verse to manna-fest!
Ritalin Children!Medicated Elders!You are conscious enough
to conjure up alternatives.(Every Breath a Mantra/Every Step a Song)
As long as we may listen to each other(deeply now-no shallow breathing
we will always be @Ground One-a step in the right direction

A thought,a dream,a line,a poem...

...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.
