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?"

WHEN WHAT MATTERS IS NOT WHAT MATTERS
(More the apprehension and emotion...
Reaction and response.REALITY is not entertainment.
EXPERIMENT is not perfection.TRIGGER WARNING!
If you are not appalled by the prevailing violence of our times
then any attempt to re-verse engineered COMMUNITY might fall and fail
and any LAND-BASED INITIATIVES might rely upon the goodwill-
of both initiates and neighbors,utility providers and city services
and the benign social distancing of Local,State and Federal  forces
always poised ot CLEAN UP after Festivals and Demonstrations.
WE MUST BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT WE WANT.
WE MUST BE FOCUSED UPON WAYS &MEANS TO GET THERE
WE MUST FIND WAYS TO CONNECT TO ALL PARTIES
So all stakeholders have a hand on the wheel,a seed in the ground,
a stone in the soup ,in the eye of the storm that is coming
when real change threatens every Potemkin Villager..

...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.
