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?"

YOU CAN ONLY BE WHO YOU REALLY ARE
SO 'GONZO"PUMPS OUT ECLECTIC BIRDSONG BREAKFASTS
So musicians organize Ukrainian Benefits
Just as i remember,when Chenobyl in the Ukraine first burst
It was Featherstone's true village storyteller organized food convoys
in trucks to fill Ukrainian stomachs.Deja Vu?Radiation rises
Goodwill arises again,with new hands feeding those in need
Shelter is required as homes fall to blind bombs
Hand to hand,hand to mouth,arm to arm
We bond with civilian cultures where we find them
We already know the difference between collaboration and co-operation
Lives are being saved by those who are civilians
All lives are on the line when lines are crossed
Restore clear lines of communication-feed,shelter love all civilians
whether Russian,Ukrainian,Polish,Swedish or Finlandian
We are all civilians..

...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.
