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?"

SEASON OF LOVE CONFLICTED
between the aspirational and actual
between the pink skin and the brown
between the power play and the bloodied victims
Between the Borders and the Police
between the one percent and you and me
between do-gooders and the volunteers
between the carers and the need
between this winter and new Spring
between the spoken silence when it sings
in the WHOOSH of landing wings-
eagle,hawk more likely turkey vulture
victim transforms into an Offering
and is absorbed into the bloodlines
of sand and snow ,dirt and wing
Our eyes attracted by the moving
between Heavens and Earthlings..

...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.
