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?"

IF IT DOES NOT EXIST
It will be necessary to invent -
gunpowder,plastics,mutating viruses,germ warfare
Then add a Nobel Prize to reward the writer
who exposes the hand behind the Puppet Masters...
Our lives are changed overnight like Luddites
Only now space bases mean more space junk
More rockets mean more war materials
Military becomes the only option
While civilians become refugees displaced homelands
Indigenous become glorious Cannes Festival myths
Bodies fall from the skies,which pollute like documentaries
History becomes failures.Repeated.Ad infinitum.
Awakening takes lifetimes.Our lifelines limited(like TITANIC lifeboats)
Try scrying fortunes in a Rhizome war zone.

...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.
