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?"

WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR,I SEE STEPHEN MILLER
I see Donald Trump, i see Attorney General Barr-
I also see every person fired from the current Administration
All these images like a ZOOM screen shot.I realize Zen
that i am not immune to reflection&fail perfection
I do not grow larger by making people smaller
In fact,my life depends upon their behaving better
so I need to behave better.It needs all the jigsaw pieces
to complete the entire picture.Most people i know
are busy building a Paradise they can live within-
a home for their hearts and their bones
I am grateful to be alive,like night needs day to shine
I need my own imperfections to be honed

...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.
