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?"

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO MEET
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK(and to sing)
You have the right to play musical instruments
You have the right to paint,to draw,to sculpt
You have the right to dance at all times
You have the right to document your arts
You have the right to share (stories,poems,songs,
gardens,food drink,and good company..
You have the right to enjoy being solitary
You have the privilege of enjoying bright companions
Each has rights,privileges,duties,responsibilities
when creativity continues all folk cultures
restoring true community to the Throne..

...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.
