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?"

SELF CONTROL LEADS TO ALTRUISTIC SERVICE
FIRST-THERE IS NO SELF-just selves(multiple)
NEXT-There is no control(of self,or others(ever..
Control is a false god/an illusion of power
There is always altruism.Goodwill.Co-operation.
Whether tied to self-control or not is not the point
The point is altruism itself.Intrinsic as joy.
Service lifts us all above ourselves
Reaches out to others from the shell unit of brittle little ego
We bridge when we connect(Control has nothing to do with it..
Self is Ayn Rand selfish-we don't eat shellfish
This world awaits new waves of altruisms
It enjoys the tickling vibration-intrinsically...
We do not need to control-anyone or anything
Every one.WE ARE EVERYONE.

...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.
