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?"

Cut-ups and alien visitations

Ghosts,Vultures,Vampires and Phastasms

Marijuana  seeds ,cannabis flowers,opium

Accelerants for literary imaginations abound

Stimulation in the half-zone of half-lives

where radioactive Fukushima fish become sushi Light

and we glow with that knowledge that our time is speed

and each influence we imbibe is something we need

and the whole world is consumed like forests.We feed

upon what we eat.Take a pill and swallow this.

Medicated Nations sedate with greed

While Truth,like civilian casualties,bleeds..
