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?"

BEFORE & AFTER US
Cultures and harvests ,un-named,un-numbered
Different to us,divergent needs ,varieties of Blessings
Too hot,too cold for us-ice,fire,storms,time zones,vibrations
We are and never were aware of.TERRA NULLIUS.At present,
we are rattling and ransacking other planets-via Moon,Mars platforms
Neither welcome us.Our Goldilocks Planet is us.We are E.T(Aliens)
There are stories of cultures we will never know.They are not us.
Pre-Aboriginal,pre-industrial,pre-Indigenous.They have no name.
Their existence does not explain Pyramids,Sacred Sites,Vortices..
When we leave,mutants will move in and absorb our radiation.
Before us-stories with no name,re-create themselves again.

...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.
