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 Thom'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?


"HERE IS WHAT I OFFER"
This is who i am.Whatever colors you see
are your reflection.Culture is a key
to unlock all Walls.Unless you fly/you will fall.
To listen to each other /is our inspiration.
All the wild birds rise/in anticipation
that Open will be our culture/more than Road and Rail
Unless you free all wild birds/you will fail.
Poets,writers,journalists,academics all need
the oxygen of influences/to feel and to see..
Emergence is ongoing.Freedom is a key
If you can say and speak and sing and chant
YOU WILL BE FREE!

...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.
