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?"

BEING AWAKE PUTS ME TO SLEEP
Insomnia fuels my creativity
I live by Light-both sun and moon flight
I tried multi-modal multi-tasking
but it failed to impress
One cannot drive and sleep!
Sleep deprivation is a torture
like solitary confinement
We need rest and dreams to spring forth clean
into a new dream.Otherwise our dreams are old and stale as bread
And we need new food for thought ,or our head
will simply repeat.Simply repeat what has been said
You can get by on a few hours of sleep

But MORE is what you really need!!

...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.
