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?


ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING
for threatened species and invisible entities..
Peace and prosperity elude ,and community is a dream.
Others place faith in pow-wow and corroboree
in jamboree and Councils of Elders.More store Bitcoins,
in virtual faith .Young turn to digital icons,
representing imaginary heroines.Aged stare @TV screens,dreaming of dinner.
Traces of ancestral values are found in Co-ops,among Volunteers/Altruists
who persist beyond all reasonable endurance on the track of miracles-
likw WORD PEACE and INNER HARMONY..One day such will be found-
we will talk of our QUESTING DAYS,in epic songs,sagas,stories and poems

Like This One..

...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.
