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?"

WHETHER WE CAME FROM THE STARS
PLEIADES,SIRIUS,ARCTURUS
or any other Galaxy or Constellation
We are here,now,on this Watery Planet.
We emerged from the waters through wetlands,
mangrove swamps,from cetacean consciousness(fins and gills)
to mammalian legs and arms.We are still revolving,devolving,evolving simultaneously.
How explain life?Sense it first,then see ,hear,respond to..Some capture,kill,cut ,dissect..
Put a pin through the art of butterflies.Know life via death and demise.
How do we know if we are alive?Feel your heartbeat.Feel your pulse.
YOU ARE ALIVE!

...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.
