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?"

BARS OPEN/CINEMAS CLOSE
RESTAURANTS OPEN/MUSIC VENUES CLOSE
Hospitals and hospices open.Testing stations open.
Office Depot profits on  masks and hand sanitizers
Traffic returns to stubborn gridlock
Elections begin with absentee voting
Everything happens @once.Weather is Autumnal/light sunshine.
Stress is high with schools re-opening
210,000 voters lose their vote.Virtual replaces actual.
It is the uniqueness of this precious present moment
Holds us close ,then cuddles closer.Humanity calls us
TEAR DOWN THESE WALLS/CLOSE PRIVATE PRISONS
Let what Freedom remains connect to every human beaming
So the cracked Light still shines in these dark times
Tomorrow is not promised-but this moment can be cashed in
And it sings!

...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.
