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?"

NO ONE PREDICTED THIS
Waves of plagues,with endless variants
Bubonic was just the beginning.Fleas on rats,
Cockroaches,sharks,crocodiles survived
while "advanced species"wilted without domestic workers.
It took a flip-phone poet to point out the programming-
how all of this had happened before-fifth extinction era.
Poles had reversed.Dinosaurs extinct.New Ice Age w/Global Warming.
This all happening as we lived through this."Love is not love..."
You cannot blame the moon,stars,dying sun for our limited time zones
Nor is biology,history,chemistry ,archaeology or poetry to blame
We live in the still point of a Tsunami of change.Recycle influences!
Learn from the Hopi vs Anasazi.Learn from all original cultures.
What assisted their rise/What caused their demise?Then apply that..

...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.
