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 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?

DISENCHANTMENT, ACTUALLY
RE-ENCHANTMENT
As we coat Mars rockets with Myth and Grace
and planetary travel with ICARUS and CHALLENGER
Worm holes,dark space,dark matter ,black swans
are all imaginative weavings of old stories/fables/legends,
embroidered with modern tools /technology.
Yeats was a pagan,Wordsworth wanted to be a pagan
Sir Isaac Newton was an alchemist,and every learned scientist
stole concepts from those earthy Greeks-from Aristotle to Anaximander to Anaximenes..
Philosophers were early scientists,sifting proofs from observations
Scientism wages media wars with global climate change(deniers)
and private Corporation space flights.AVATAR posits mining
as a destroyer of environment-and we transport such processes to space.
Movies from 2012 to ARMAGEDDON create dystopic visions.
Nature now means Tsunamis,hurricanes,floods and de-afforestation
New New Romanticism seeds new growth multi-species(of thoughts
and gilds the robotic lily with Eden /Reborn in Cornwall
practicing for Moon and Mars Space Colonies..

Solutions only need-someone to believe..

...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.
