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 CAN ONLY BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE

SO 'GONZO"PUMPS OUT ECLECTIC BIRDSONG BREAKFASTS

So musicians organize Ukrainian Benefits

Just as i remember,when Chenobyl in the Ukraine first burst

It was Featherstone's true village storyteller organized food convoys

in trucks to fill Ukrainian stomachs.Deja Vu?Radiation rises

Goodwill arises again,with new hands feeding those in need

Shelter is required as homes fall to blind bombs

Hand to hand,hand to mouth,arm to arm

We bond with civilian cultures where we find them

We already know the difference between collaboration and co-operation

Lives are being saved by those who are civilians

All lives are on the line when lines are crossed

Restore clear lines of communication-feed,shelter love all civilians

whether Russian,Ukrainian,Polish,Swedish or Finlandian

We are all civilians..

There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and dibblers who have got the blues (OK, nothing to do with tiny marsupials who are listening to the new Bob Dylan album, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at.

SELF CONTROL LEADS TO ALTRUISTIC SERVICE

FIRST-THERE IS NO SELF-just selves(multiple)

NEXT-There is no control(of self,or others(ever..

Control is a false god/an illusion of power

There is always altruism.Goodwill.Co-operation.

Whether tied to self-control or not is not the point

The point is altruism itself.Intrinsic as joy.

Service lifts us all above ourselves

Reaches out to others from the shell unit of brittle little ego

We bridge when we connect(Control has nothing to do with it..

Self is Ayn Rand selfish-we don't eat shellfish

This world awaits new waves of altruisms

It enjoys the tickling vibration-intrinsically...

We do not need to control-anyone or anything

Every one.WE ARE EVERYONE.

WALK OUT ON RICHMOND AVENUE

Towards the Barrio on Jupiter

See!Stumps of chopped trees

Look!Demolished house on corner!

Walk parallel to the railroad track

Where dumped trash piles up

See!The trees creak and crack

Split when storms return again

Grass and litter by the creek

Cars parked on concrete

Here ,no room for sidewalks

So joggers meet the local traffic

Beauty of two cultures meet

City and suburban streets

Nature once was wilde and free

South Austin's Unique Beauties...

SELF-CENSORSHIP COMES FIRST

Charles Dickens burned all his letters(perhaps to hide his young mistress

Philip Larkin asked his mistress Monica Jones,to destroy his diaries

She asked another of his mistresses Betty Mackareth to do that task

So Larkin's private life ended up in a paper shredder

Nicolai Gogol turned to religion and burned Part Two of "Dead Souls"

which was based upon Dante-so we will never know his version of Purgatorio

Same with Mikhail Bulgarov,whose "Master and Marguerita"journals and diaries were destroyed by the Soviets,only being retrieved by finding copies later after his death.

When burnings are done by others,we are deprived of knowledge of the personal lives of writers ,as when Lord Byron's diaries were burned by friends wishing toi protect his reputation

However,when accidental damage is done,sometimes works can be re-written or salvaged

Although V.S Naipaul's journals and letters were accidentally torched by the storers

much of his other works survive,When Edna St.Vincent Millay's"Conversation at Midnight"

was burned in a hotel fire-she rewrote it.Same with Malcolm Lowry,who lost 'In Ballast to the White Sea"(his version of Dante's "Paradiso").His first novel "Ultramarine"was also stolen.

But Lowry was able to re-write "Under The Volcano",so his fame was secured.

Writers are often secretive of mistresses,drug habits ,possible scandals.

It took William Burroughs ,Chgarles Bukowsky and Henry Miller to sell their (male)private lives as literature.Same for Colette and Erica Jong and many feminist writers(for women)

Self-censorship is worst.Think of all i could not say...
