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?"

OUR ORIGINAL INTENTION
SURVIVAL&CONTINUANCE
Cave as shelter.Weapons@hand.Stand.
Perhaps live in trees/to defend territory.
Now missiles so strong we dare not use them.
High rise so high .Twin Towers.Demolition.
Now our effects stronger than dinosaurs.
Must phase out infernal combustion engines.
No more ride through the Concorde skies
All weapons redundant and toxic.Land reclamation
post oil and gas and fracking.SUPERFUND sites 100%
We were allowed to be here as Guardians.
Our science will need re-verse engineering.
No more implants ,Tesla rockets,Space-X
More 100% recycling.Close down coal industries
Open up to renewable energies.In our lifetime?
Let us sing this into our existence-with our original intentions.

...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.
