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?"

YOU WILL WALK OUT INTO THIS WORLD
and spin stories as to the true nature of it
These are placebos,fairy tales,medicine to drink
or to smoke ,snort,shoot,inject-to make your way through the Labyrinth
You may say there is a Matrix or Illuminati,or Conspiracies
to absolve you from responsibility in creation and continuation of such myths.
"All myths are lies,but all people are sustained via myth"(Joseph Campbell)
We spider weave our Net,our Web/forget the metaphor
until iPhone #12 or Web3.0 supersedes our explanations-
like Black Swans,Dark Matter,Dark Mirrors and Dark Energies
our extrapolations glow both ways.Damocles Sword?or String Theory?

TIME TO SHINE!

...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.
