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?"

WORLD WATER DAY (MONDAY MARCH 22,)
BY THE WATERS OF BARTON SPRINGS
By the waters of Jacobs Well
By the waters of Blue Hole , Cypress Creek, and Hamilton Pool
By the waters  of every spring  and well ,creek and river
May fresh waters flow forever. Drought has drained
our liquidities to the bone. Floods have taken down 
the trees of Wimberley to destruction. Climate change
made Austin boil snow for water. We cannot live without fresh water.
Every drop is precious. Rain barrels conserve agua,
displacing the need for Nestle plastic bottled waters.
Fluoride and chlorine added to our drinking water supplies.
Without the flow of waters within around and outside
there would be no sense of life. Aqua Vita! Agua Pura!
WATER IS LIFE!

...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.
