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?"

ONE BODY,ONE EARTH
Doctors for every limb, divided expertise
One moment. One thought. One feeling @a time
Lot's wife, looking backwards, turns to salt. Niobe weeps, disconsolate
Every movement you make is a Meditation.
Every feeling you harbor a choice. Give a home to anger, it will burn.
Give homeless water, they will live. Air is neutral,
but does not like cars, factories, weapons. Air wants to live(like water)-
so it flows, moves on, circulates in currents. We breathe her in, unaware..
Earth before and after our footprints leave our bodies. We are tenants here, as she remains.
Ashes and bones join Earth Day ,which is every day. Our homeless back to Earth.Green over gray.
Our rich in gold and clay. Rather live among the trees than boxed in plastic toxic cities.
You may choose a desert to love within-seeking out the dancing flying living
Earth is a Bodhi of accumulated wisdom. Time to learn(again...

...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.
