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 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 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?"

I DO NOT CARE THAT YOU ARE SMART

i do not care

that you do not care

my "I DON'T CARE!"

is bigger than your "I don't care"

i am too tired to be apathetic

about apathetic choices

i am cynical about cynics

and selective virtues

every breath is semi-precious

those best shared,increase circulation

wisdom means more than shared commonness

It is a map,a plan,an improvised jazz stratagem

bridges built before us/still carry Behomeths

lines we follow /Light shines through

none of this is necessary

all of this is important

where you align/dine/find home and meaning

a nest for the broken/sanctuary for healing.
