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 YOU WERE RIGHT
And forgot why?(Gaps and ellipses)
YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT!
You violate all the Laws of Robotry
by thinking, feeling and living un-programmed
DYSLEXIA/DYSPHASIA ARE MERE LABELS
Age adds far sight but loses up close
MEMORY IS ALWAYS SELECTIVE
Babies cannot remember past lives
WHETHER PATTERNS REPEAT(OR NOT)
What matters is what you do with what you are ,have, retain
OF COURSE YOUR COUNTRY HAS CHANGED
Do you REALLY think we could live in 2020 forever?
AS FOR MINDS(YOU STILL HAVE ONE!)
Use it to find a way out of this self-created Labyrinth
THE FIRST STEP IS CREATION
The next involves clear communication/consciousness
You have passed both steps....What is next?

...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.
