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 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!"

PROGRAM ME
WE MAKE ROBOTS
Then make movies,books,science fiction predictions of Apocalypse
predict Armageddon ,Robot Uprising,Automatons,Computer Generated Doom Machines.
WAIT ONE MINUTE!Robots are made by us-those killing drones run by us
Atomic bomb glitches controlled by us.No robo-function exists independent of us-except AI
Office Depot/Max/Staples now has 3D printers available for hire.They are GREAT for prosthetic limbs
not so good for plastic pistols to get past Xray TSA.WE choose the function.Like Charlie Chaplin's assembly lines,
we can morph back into Luddites,or leap into space/time travel.
We can hire robo-reptilian killing police,who shoot first /ask questions after
or we can soak up environmental disasters with robo-cameras,with robo-hands to get in to Bhopal/Fukushima,
There is no need to fear-just create an artistic  benign program.Here is where we fail.Hirst over Banksy.Banks over Credit Unions
Visa over Bitcoin.If we wish to avoid autonomic responses/we need Renaissance values applied.
To live,learn,adapt,integrate,assimilate,love and be in peace is just the beginning
What REALLY matters -is how we treat our obsolete robots/human beings..


It's no secret that the world is being automated and that millions of people are losing work as a result. With a properly programmed machine, any unskilled...

...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.
