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?"

"PEOPLE NEED MEANING IN THEIR LIFE!"
The economist sees every body hurting
and the application of assistance becoming salutory
The architect thinks about little houses vs highrise
The engineer moves away from gas cars to electric
and considers possibilities for renewables
The DJ suggests "ask those on the front line
when it comes to social problems" So he does,
eliciting constructive answers from every body
And children demonstrate for equal rights and the environment
Awareness leaps beyond mere money-into modes of adaptation
for the poor,the rich.,the housed and the homeless
look at unsolved conundrums,and find ways
to meet the human needs of human beings.
"Listening is still the first prayer.Respect is still the 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.
