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?"
CULTURE IS A VULTURE
And a free-booting pirate
that lives off patronage and belief
like all good religions do
You do not have to believe in culture
to practice it/all you have to do is create
And when you do,there are no guarantees
of immortality or posthumous Museum Exhibitions.
That which is born of energy asserts itself
against all that has ever been created before..
Creative cohesion and conflict are C.P Snow's "Two Cultures"
Schools of thought develop,find resistance,attack ,blending
and evolve into the "Noosphere",where even the Cloud cannot hold them.
Ask ALEXA a philosophical question-find no response.
Technology is self-referential.Wake up one day all FACEBOOK users data stolen.
Cloud comes down.Hackers and Phishers download all your credit cards.
When data thieves and pirates have freebooted all your personal information,
well,then ,Andrew Yang,how will you pay all displaced cultural workers?
And who believes in corporate criminal culture anyway?
