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?"


DIODORUS SICULUS DESCRIBES A FUNERAL 
          
PARASCHISTES vs TARICHEUTAE
King Charles 111 offers his remaining subjects"Continuity and change". 
He praises his mother for her devotion and duty
elevating William to his now discarded Prince of Wales status.
This is now a Media Monarchy-Smartphones record every minutae
World watches as if they,too,are witnesses and intimates
Live streams of funerals,coronation,succession to the Throne
are on Nightly news and Daily updates.I give my coins away-
the ones with the Queen as visage.Every body grieves in their own way.
They say the same"I did not know i would feel this way"
But the Queen had a Facebook site and was on Instagram
Charles had been rehearsing his role for this Divine Comedy
Now he must put away the Crusades of growing,and play Aging Monarch
Shakespeare is needed-this is a History ,not a Tragedy,nor Comedy
And whatever happens next involves all of us-from Ukraine to Northern Ireland
THE QUEEN IS DEAD!LONG LIVE THE KING!

...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.
