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?"


LIVING A SECOND HAND LIFE

GO TO THRIFT TOWN FOR MY CLOTHES
Prices rise right through the roof.Why so?
Franchise prices set high in San Antonio

GO TO HALF PRICE FOR MY BOOKS
Prices double(even in Dollar Clearance)-Why so?
Prices set by Corporate Headquarters

GO TO CAST MY ONLY VOTE
They want $700 million in bond debt.Why so?
Traffic Management(Why must WE pay for it?
Someone isn't using public transport!

BEFORE YOU ACCEPT HIGH RISE PRICES in a small village town

Remember how many part-time jobs it takes to live in Austin.

...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.
