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?"


WHAT IF WE NEVER HAPPENED?
and Gaia kept going as she does-evolving &devolving simultaneously
with fires,floods,tidal waves and typhoons.With extreme weather repeating,
forests burning,and species facing mass extinction from meteors,volcanoes and poles reversing.
Think of this in terms of millions of years-aeons in fact-long before us/long afterwards..
We being a raindrop in the ocean of time/blip in the radar of Eternities.
Earth may be one of many planets that supports life as we know it-
but pretend that we never knew this,because WE did not exist.
So the existence of aliens is irrelevant.Science fiction stories for other species.
Writing never happened.Disaster movies never happened.Viruses ruled!
Familiar ?

...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.
