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?"

DECLARING NEUTRALITY

money is neutral-

PAPER NOTES AND METAL COINS

we simply ascribe value to

COMPUTERS ARE NEUTRAL

they are programs,pure and simple

prepared to SHARE their MALWARE universally

love is neutral,too-given to the just and unjust

always seeking to add to /not subtract

Earth is neutral,too-admits us as ash and dust

but water is not neutral-it takes on your intentions

and turns black or brown according to your contributions

We are not neutral.We judge,and execute /each other

As in love.As in water.We surf or float or drown.

Ask your body -is it full?-of levity or gravity?

Are you rising up?or falling down?
