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?"


USED TO DRINK COCA-KILLA
Now seltzer water and agua minerale
USED to eat pies,sausages,sausage rolls
Now down to BEYOND BURGERS-O!
USED TO BE IN MILITARY CADETS
Now to be seen wherever peace exists
Used to believe-religion,politicians(same thing)
Now i seek ,investigate, feel and think
Too late for passive consumption of unworthy influences
Never too early to make a fresh start!
Kindness,compassion,co-operation,community
You cannot buy these as products on(or off) your shelf
They can only ever be given and shared with some body else
Like peace,happiness,healing,joy-and(occasionally)
a BEYOND BURGER and a mineral water!

...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.
