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?"

EVERY DICTATOR IS NAKED
BUT NOT EVERY TAILOR IS TRUTHFUL
It is what you cannot say will bite you
Laughter is hollow  pointed when it is cruel,with targets
The best jokes are life and death.They survive fashion.
Pain and suffering are not funny(except to Stoics)
Bacchus laughed with pleasure when they changed his name to Dionysus
His children-Priapus,Hymen,Thoas ,Staphyl.His image-grapevine,panther..His play-pleasure..
Who censors joy and cancels cultures?What Blue Meanies depose Boris Johnson?Why not Putin?
I prefer PUSSY RIOT to Putin.Prefer the whole alphabet to FSB ,KGB,CIA,FBI,NSA..
Prefer poetry to propaganda!Prefer stories in songs.Prefer co-operation in community..
Good to know spark of social satire still stings..Removed all the punch lines
so no one gets hurt in their dreams..

...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.
