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?"

TACTICS & STRATEGIES

WE WILL NEED TO IMPROVISE
We have forgotten flu epidemics,second waves,World Wars
Only little fire wars and warring fires
Only violent police and gentle imprisoned
Who owns the law?Those with guns(we pay for them)
We only have arms for hugging each other
Time for laughter,sharing,company,goodwill
Time for conversations to unfold their Sacred Maps
and Reveal to us Inner Point,Design and Purpose.
We are always going somewhere
in Movement and Motion we take that chance
When the world seems static and stationary
We can always move in Harmony
We can always Dance.

...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.
