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?"

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..

...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.
