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?"

BEFORE BEFORE
NOW THAT WE ARE DISTANT
Socially isolated/believing that breathing is shared disease
i do declare that this virus is anti-community,anti-poetry,anti-elders
and(ultimately)anti-human.Whoever "weaponized "this virus
has murder on his mind.Do not blame the bat soup
Nor the pangolin!While Dylan sings of the 60s,
we of 2020 repressed by this anti-Woodstock
of fear,isolation and restriction.Everything is passed,now-
lines outside supermarkets/our freelance friends sacked.
Rome was not built in a day.Washington fell in 30.

...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.
