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?"

KANGAROOS ARE PEACEFUL VEGETARIANS
They are truly indigenous symbols of Australia
They are now farmed,and served up as kangaroo steaks
It is a lean meat,grass-fed.Tourists enjoy the quality.
i have never eaten a kangaroo-nor a wallaby,a potaroo
nor any variant of these amazing and strange creatures..
Road trains carrying cattle to be slaughtered also kill kangaroos
Their shattered bodies and broken paws are road kill beside all Outback highways
and ,in drought times,they bounce on to watered golf lawns
If you have ever sat down with a kangaroo,looked into their huge round eyes
You would see stars of the Australian night sky..

...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.
