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?"

SHUNNING AND SHAMING
ISOLATING & BLAMING
Seeking scapegoats/making victims
From seeds of hate to Holocaust
Until all bright and brilliant are extinguished.
Hate makes hurt.To cut your own limbs off
by chopping off the heads of others.Love wins
only when activated-to serve,save and protect.
We share the same air,water,earth and sky.
Palestinians need a homeland-as do Bedouins.
Persecution/prosecution fails all humanity.
It is time to love all equally.Turn speech into song
Create circles where all may be heard-every voice,every age
Every choice helpful and healing.Let us begin.

...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.
