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?"

"THE UNIVERSE IN A GRAIN OF SAND"(William Blake)
"Infinity in a wildflower."Sand makes concrete and silicon chips.
Our world is built upon both.Poetry in transformation/translation.
No longer "Chabuduo"-more elegant entente/diplomacy.Invisible/invulnerable.
From source suppliers of silicon to finished semi-conductors-
a symphony of multi-lateralism.For the Principles of Trusted Technology
involve secular and spiritual standards-a Glasnost of Pantheism
under a Barbie umbrella of pluralism,transparency,accountability,reciprocity-
ultimately,a trust in the Rule of Law.Taiwan is not Ukraine,but they are learning..
with a super-power neighbor flexing muscles,it is best to be a porcupine to a panda.
As a world supplier of a now-essential military and civilian asset applies the poetry of Tao.
Strengthen alliances based upon the satisfaction of mutual needs.To invade Taiwan
would mean to deny supplies to too many markets.Military alliances based upon economic realities.
We only protect what we most need-clean air,water-and semi-conductors.Brave New World begins 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.
