"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 Thom'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?
IF YOU ARE JAZZ
YOU ARE ALIVE&WELL
You have stories in sound to tell
You have stories in sound to tell
You may have a personal
hell
Yet the Heavens you scatter like rich
bank notes
Make the world around you
float
You enter a higher state of
consciousness
when you improvise your
life.
The only rule is-STAY
ALIVE!
Once you leave this life
a new one will be created over
yours
Sculptures and statues that do not
sing
just connote the brilliance you had
once upon a rhyme
The only First and Last Commandment is
always
STAY ALIVE!IMPROVISE!
