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?"

LIFE DECISIONS
i have decided to grow down..
for every positive experience-
add another minute to my life
For every negative action/statement
take a moment away.So far i am winning!
Today i gained a moment and lost three
This focus upon the dark side is killing me!
If i can find that clear vibration
That clean energy source
that kindness and goodwill shown me
there will be centuries of me with thee..
Time is a choice as much as love
Devotion as much as free will

 What will be forgotten fills the Cloud
Storms come with anger and dread
.is only fear projected as insecurity
So if i can look at trees sans chainsaws
Rivers without dams.Springs without fracking
i may be only fooling myself
but i will live longer /growing younger
with every positive illusion embraced..

...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.
