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?"

"AND THE TRUE BEAUTY OF MYTHOLOGY...
is it requires no belief." It is self-validating-
on the basis of Dungeons and Dragons story-telling.
Joan Of Arc burned as a witch -becoming a Saint.
Midwives dunked,tortured,killed-on empty accusations
Every Church,Club,Group has its Mythos to protect
It is hard to grow if everyone is celibate
We have had female Popes(Pope Joan)and decadent Popes
The Church of Rome is not the only "Christian "Church
And all those Crusades versus Jihads and Fatwas pronounced
against secular writers such as Salman Rushdie/fail..
Of course, each Church has Martyrs as well as Saints (and Sinners)
The only question is-who has the better storyline?
And how soon can we change the ENDING?

...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.
