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?"

EPHEMERA
FALSE GODS DEMAND OBEDIENCE-
Those who seek power ,immortality,dominion and control
over weather,earth,sky,seas-and us.We who simply wish to be
become art,and replicate happiness,contentment ,equanimity.
A secret we share with consenting co-creators!Audiences
wish stars above themselves-to gossip about and character assassinate.
We need clear clean waters of inspiration,air worthy of the re-breathing
and an earth that always was a wilde garden.We all get what we feel-
immersed in a continuing dream that allows each flower and weed equality.
Omnia Mutantur.Festina Lente.Gods of Worry and of Work retire eventually.
Leaving slow time,deep dreams,gentle pleasures to come in as welcome guests..

...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.
