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?"

ANARCHISTS AND OPPORTUNISTS
ARE OUT ON THE STREETS TODAY
with every peaceful demonstrator who says-
"We actually DO need a PEACE FORCE in play"
So,they soak the wounds in the eyes of the young tear gassed
and they bandage the wounds caused by bean bag rounds
and they feed and shelter peaceful protestors
Because they can see THIS IS THE WAY OF PEACE
They work together with a hive mind
They devote their income(some of them tithe)
towards the greatest challenge of our times-
how can we express ourselves (in free verse,rap,hip-hop or rhyme?
Some use silence,and meditate and pray
Some sing peace songs"LET FREEDOM RING"
In these educational times,we are all learning-
'How can we best express ourselves?
How can we sing?

...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.
