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?"

YELLOW TIGER, PINK ELEPHANTS

RED REPUBLICANTS,BLUE DEMOCRATS

Gay pink,Rainbow Coalitions

White Surrender flags,black anarchy

Green Forest Healers,Blue Ocean Cousteaus

Purple Magenta Psychics,Indigo Children

@the University of Melbourne,i watched Karlheinz Stockhausen

perform WORLD ANTHEM ,w/vignettes of every National Anthem

Like Yoko Ono's Chess Set(all the pieces are white-you could not fight)

and Christo's wrapping of The Brandenburg Gate

and impish anarchist Banksy on Palestine walls(WALLEDOFF HOTEL)

Every Illumined Artpiece with color and panache,passion and power

to awaken us to all truth of colors-how they awaken and liberate

Even basic black-London black,Milan black,funereal black,police uniform black./.

and all browns,ebony  and bronzes of African /West Indian shades and tones and meanings

We dream in colors to escape an apartheid  world of blacks and whites

We live in colors -to sustain our winged air flight...
