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?

MEDITATION = SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
small
In this Uni-Verse
in the Order of Things
In the way we move in this world
we are small...We have tried BIG!-
Big Walls,Wars,Profits,Buildings,
We have projected BIG EMPIRES
but they did not last.They fell down like the Berlin Wall/
Small as Hadrian's Wall.Little as an orphanage.
Now we need-to return to Village.Bicycles.Pedestrians.Individuality.
World is old and tired/all sewn up with refugees /hot with flaming wars.
Cool it.Chill.Each of us has wars inside us-health,weakness,poverty.
Every one of us calls as birds do -to the forest inside of us.

Answer the call...

...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.
