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?"

YOU HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO SPLIT THE ATOM

SHOULD YOU SPLIT THE ATOM?

(Ask extinct citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

You have the power to create chemical weapons

(Even in World War One-mustard gas still harms)

Should you keep stocks of chemical weapons?

You have infectious diseases laboratories

With stocks of bio-hazards like Ebola,SARS.MERS,Covid-19..

Were outbreaks traced back to such a laboratory in Wuhan,China?

Poisons and bio-hazards are largely regulated

As the permafrost melts,frozen diseases re-emerge

Polio and smallpox discovered in sewage

We clone sheep(Dolly)and genetically engineer human parts

What could possibly go wrong by cloning an extinct predator

Before science fiction transforms into science fact-

(Watch JURASSIC PARK(franchises).Then watch PREDATOR(sequels)

Who Really Said This Joke First? Ringo Isn't Even The Best Drummer In The Beatles. John Lennon?

LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS

IF YOU WANT SOLAR ROOFTOP TILES

You need to forgive his adolescent Tweets

If you want jobs at Tesla or Space X

You need to forgive that slander

of Thai children cave rescuers

If you want Internet coverage for the Third World

You will need to forgive his sexual philandering

with children from so many women

If you believe and desire more Twitter service

You will have to believe his offer to buy was not spurious

Celebrity is a two-edged sword-both sides cause pain

Half the developed world has stock in Tesla

The other half know him -as just a name..

EACH DAY,ANOTHER DISASTER

is dumped upon our doorstep.

Floods,fires,wars,inflation-it seems

Dystopia has displaced all Utopian ideals.

Every moon has a dark side.I do not mind.

Embracing chaos is an improvisor's delight

Who predicted Covid?Monkeypox?Vaccines did not stop

this pandemic stealing one million lives from us.But to focus upon loss

is not to value what we are as we imbibe -what remains in every moment of our lives..

Survivors ?More than this.Random as Bliss.We are our Network of Consciousness..

Co-creating in conversation,communities.Real and Virtual.While we can,

we build again.As ants do.Step by step,this dance entrances.Leave behind

all empty snake skins/lost lizard tails.We grow together through wilder weather.

This US.This YOU &ME.This WE These Spider-webbed Communities..

"FORESTS COME TO DUNSINANE"(SOUTH AUSTIN)

EACH EARLY MORNING

Beneath the canopy of South Austin trees

i carry a Light so cars and trucks might not hit me as i walk..

Huge trucks down Lansing ,loaded with lumber

I am not sure which forests were plundered

Stacked and regular,for the building of future slums

Hear the hammering?They speak Mexican..

Create wooden puzzle pieces for Tesla workers to live within

I wonder as i wave to the grinding trucks,conspicuous in size

Strangers come into South Austin spaces,unaware

of history or of homeless here.I recall those killed on tracks

that new homeless camp beside.Trucks rumble past,fast

enough to cast aside all history /philosophy/archives..

MET ELLIOTT LANDY IN WOODSTOCK (VILLAGE)

His photographs were on every wall in town

He did covers for Bob Dylan,The Band,Woodstock(the Festival)

and documented all things joyous,Festive,Aquarian.

I noticed that his photos were historic

No today heroes or heroines ..So i asked him..

Appears he was disillusioned with pop industries

Left his art to pursue healing and learning

I met a man who just might live forever

First,by documenting the "Good,the Beautiful and the True"

And,Zen,by becoming same..

MEDICINAL HUMOR(ONE PUNCH LINE REMOVED)

I BEGAN BY LIKING NOH HUMOR

Where vacuity and pointlessness reigned

Moved on to Dark Humor-to fill up all the Dark Spaces

Surrealist humor was next-with the emphasis on FISH!

My ethical friend surged me to move on to Vegetable Humor

What's so funny about Broccoli or Brussel sprouts?Brexit?

In the interest of brevity,i resort to one-liners.Death.Infinity.

I like Buddhist humor most of all-removing punch lines

so no body feels any pain.(Pink Floyd..Comfortably Numb)

Now that Comedy has turned Corporate,i resign.

So call this "Contemporary poetry"It does not have to rhyme..

All the time..
