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?"


UNWRITTEN! UNREAD
ALL THAT YOU EVER DID
It sings for you like candles in a church
It lingers in the lost archives of friendship
with those who hold you in their heart
because the wake you left allowed others to canoe
because you broke bread and the ice,to smile more
and all the horrors stayed,too
They enjoy pain,suffering ,abasement
You want to let them go!-to release them
but they are stubborn lovers.They sleep with you 
and will not allow divorce.You wonder why parents
reincarnate in children and their reaction formations.
Why your world is not tattoos and skin modifications.
For every OCCUPY-an EXTINCTION REBELLION..
"Be @peace"your children say"We are finding our own way home"
Like how you left once,and did not return.We are all learning.

...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.
