THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling 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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded.

WHY?

FEAR OF ART

Even nakedness censored

Even FEMEN bravery

Especially Cds ,movies,mass mediated medicated media

Especially everywhere.Not even democracy.Churches whine

Arrest bare breasts/add olive leaves to naked Greek statues

Before you say you are cool with art today-why no brave outcry

when Banksy is painted over or declared OUTLAW on gray walls?

Is it not your own body to tattoo,body paint,puncture like STELARC?

Have all those performance artists changed nothing?

Even mainstream Lady Ga Ga-even Madonna's EROTICA

Beyonce-this is your body!.Art is not porn.We are born in harmonies

Art has no limits.Only we who say NO!make less out of more.

Let art Play!Every wall a gallery space!Every womb a view!

Well, isn't that special?!
