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?"


I WAS WRONG
WRONG BEFORE &WRONG AGAIN
Future all sunshine and rose gardens
Masked we are(even bank robbers)
Make a fortune selling hand sanitizers
Half of us listening to Fauci and Cuomo
The rest at beaches waving Rump banners
These are unique times.Nothing matters more
than life(or death).Health insurance.Government grants.
Insecure the one who dares to disagree
Media lynches easily.Hate radio fulminates.
If you find a plague from pasts that resurrects
then the reactions may be similar.Meanwhile,
we write to each other to confirm our reclusion.
We walk,cycle,exercise within hermit rooms.
Deserts await us,some of our own creating
Such blue skies!Such green gardens!

...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.
