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?"

"FILL THE SHORTNESS OF LIFE WITH WIDE DEEP LIVING"(Seneca)
Henry Miller reinforces this with his best advice "Generosity sustains life"
To empty coffers is to free oneself -givers are twice Blessed..
To be kind is a privilege.To give is a gift.Worlds await such wonder.
Hard times require soft responses.Share food with all hungry.
Shelter who ye may.Roles reverse/replace us.Open-mouthed,we recall
Times when we were given opportunities to share..Then and there
means here and now.Volunteers.Altruists.Their wisdom is the gift.
Content of their kindness extra.One world Eight billion mouths.
Hands and hearts open .again-To give is the gift.
You are Twice Blessed...

...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.
