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?"

LEARNING FROM WOLVES
How they are family based/territoriaL
How they protect and defend their young
Like that swan who mates for life
Like all that lived in habitat prior to us
Dispossessed by our violent presence
We can learn from all pre-us
How to protect and defend our young
How to maintain and sustain our environment
How habitat is as basic as breath
Space to roam,and hunt,feed and sleep
Our homeless would be housed
Our poor fed by public fruit trees
There are ways to care,nurture in Nature
Gaia will outlast our temporary occupation
Earth before-Earth afterwards..

...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.
