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?"

HOLDING REMEMBRANCE & RESPECT
LUCKY WE ARE TO KNOW EACH OTHER
In this Casino life,where all croupiers are crooked and bent
Machines programmed to fleece
And even your empty pockets mined for civilians ends
Fortunate that Light shines,because it can(and must)
Trust does not rust(like hope,an abandoned Russian tank-
And ,if this is Heaven,find me smiling at the coincidences
En passant.You backgammon/chess-me checkmated.
Small Board of Empires.Reasons for Continuance.
We will make it .With our ghosts and shadows cheering us on.
Imagine Ancestors as Archetypes.Jung's Red Book.Unexpurgated Bibles.
Mary of Magdala.Gospel of Didymus.I have been eating stories every breakfast
Now i chew upon and digest the lives of strangers.Every body i have ever known.

...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.
