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?"

"THERE IS A FUTURE,VIRGINIA!"
AND YOU ARE PART OF IT!
I know for the past year
All you had was the past
Viral expanding pandemic
No future in it.But Zen-
science came in with vaccines
And the RUSH IS ON! to test and apply them
Which means those of us left may continue living
Of course,some live in DENIAL(Egypt)
where INTRANSIGENCE and STUBBORNNESS
refuse all possibilities of improvement
Free will is a conscious choice.
(I prefer the First Amendment of our Constitution
over the Second Amendment any day..
That day is today-new Government,new vaccines,new year
and a possibility of a Future that is benign,rational and clear...

...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.
