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?"

NOBODY AGREES WITH ME
They see no need for positive poetry
They have plans and (for them)progress means
following in line with the Dominant Paradigm
Me?I am a Volunteer.I am of the Unknown Future..
If words form,they come from dreams,songs,meditations
They may not know where they are going-but they DO know one thing-
Just by existing-THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE..
Same for you, critics/chanticleers/despots/doubters
YOU ARE ALL PART OF THIS JIGSAW PUZZLE
It needs every one of us to gain the full picture
It needs all of all of us to solve the puzzle...

...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.
