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?"

 CAROUSEL
SOME THINGS ARE MADE FOR SMARTPHONES
Some things are made for cameras.Some are temporarily with us.
Some will last forever.Take the wheel.Move it around
Add an engine and some painted Endangered Creatures-
Watch their fortunes ride and rise and fall!Pangolin!Manatee!
Here come the children!Quick!Cover the Dodo and Gryphon!
Extinct creatures resurrect as Dragons!DNA of Thylazines!
Of course all Elephants are threatened-same with Gorillas in the Mist!
You would not see a Siberian Tiger in Houston-were it not for this-Houston Zoo!
With tall giraffes and tiny Houston Toads.Sans bars,they would be trophies on our walls.
Or photographs in National Geographic..Children know-as they ride this carousel
Their innocence is a Threatened Species.They relate to Reptiles-
to snakes,vipers pythons-but these cold-blooded politicians are sleeping
Preserved under glass so all can see them-BUT NOT TOUCH!
Love those raptors/vultures who look at us as if we are their lunch.
SACRIFICE ALL WILDERNESS!ALL NATURAL HABITAT IS LOST!
If you were to RELEASE THE KRAKEN,none could pay the cost..

...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.
