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?"

WOKE
#AWARE OF THE DARK SIDE
School massacres,sex trafficking,corruption..BUT
seeking solutions and panaceas/those who
decide to "add to the sum of Light"in this world..
Recognize them by their gentleness/smiling through circumstance
Elevating all via example/actions and words consonant.
Tonight@Drink n Ink,she (new to this circle)exclaimed
her joy @finding human beings playing together co-operatively.
Of course-diversity.More than poetry-art,photography,music,plays,stories
Each stepped up as in an ancient circle /and shared their visions
Tonight the theme was PASTICHE-next month STALWART
Directed energies expressed fresh ideas /individually and collectively
If we are to survive,we need to learn creative adaptation/improvisation
If we are to share,we need to offer all our being/individually and collectively
So we do.And we did.And we will again.When next we meet-@DRINK n INK!

...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.
