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?"

ARTIFICE AS ART

I DO NOT

I DO NOT CARE

I DO NOT CARE IF I AM REPLACED

I DO NOT CARE IF I AM REPLACED BY A.I

I DO NOT CARE IF I AM REPLACED BY A.I POETRY &ART

If it begins with humans,then we can start(again)

To find forms of expression which are intrinsically human

So all clones and apps and A.I might follow in our tracks

Send the robots to Moon and Mars.Keep Earth's habitat intact

So MATRIX and SINGULARITY become just brand names

And we can enjoy each other's company(and not be programmed

AGAIN..
