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?"

SHE WAS A SOLDIER-NOW SHE IS A POET
Defining and refining the reasons for continuing cultural conversations
So that Ukrainian poets and Russian poets might survive this war upon civilians..
Peaceful and erudite by nature,nurture  and intention-she learned her true herstory
Her female ancestors also read and wrote ,danced and sang for peace
They were the reason Ukraine's cultures were pivotal to Europe's harvests
Propaganda is a war on truth.Violence is a war on peace.Military is not a culture.
All her values were those of life-friendship,gardens,conversations,goodwill
So she traded in her rifle for more books,and studied THE ART OF PEACE
You may find her among the civilian volunteers working with war refugees
Her work will be forever-until all wars cease...

...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.
