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?"

KEEP GETTING FREE NUMEROLOGY

FREE ASTROLOGY.MAYAN CALENDAR READINGS

Seems THE FUTURE is up for interpretation

Jung's RED BOOK.PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA.MAGISTER LUDI

Numbers as an instrument of divination.Birthdays.Recurring numbers

Strangers contact with IMPORTANT messages.They want RESPONSE

They offer to GUIDE through perilous days.Via Tarot/Psychic messages.

I am happy to enjoy this world /as it is /changing/in ways beyond me

Like swimming in a rip tide parallel to the beach.Like prophecies.

I accept divergent interpretations and varieties of experience

Prefer the pitter-patter of metaphor to unlock the arcane

After all-SONG OF SOLOMON vs BOOK OF JOB/REVELATIONS.

Joyfilled birdsong vs angry demonstrations.Gardens and forests vs rectangular skylines

Thus-preferences expressed,not claiming any Divine Wisdom

Thus-fresh poems with recurring lines,to remind me to GO FURTHER!

THANK YOU for comparing experiences.While we are here,each day is extra.

STRANGE FRUIT PLAYLIST: 09-08-2020 – SHOW 370 – Smell Roses/Ghosbox

Strange Fruit is a unique two-hour radio show exploring the world of underground, strange and generally neglected music. All shows are themed and all shows set out to give the most hardened of sound-hounds some new delight to sample.

The show is also unique in providing homework for undergraduate students on North West Kent College’s Foundation Degree in Professional Writing (who dig up many of the odd facts featured in the links between tracks).

Neil Nixon, the founder and presenter of the show has released a book about rare albums for Gonzo Multimedia.

The show is broadcast on Miskin Radio every Sunday from 10-00-midnight.

THE WAY IT WORKS

No body gets what they really want

But selected emotions get a demographic

It may not seem democratic

but representation is rarely real

Just projections upon personalities

we can temporarily align with

Someone needs a buddy

Someone needs a father figure

Someone needs a business partner

We have had a Black President in the White House

A stoner on the roof of the White House

We have yet to have a woman (in power)in the White House

or a person of Hispanic Heritage..Just wait..

Representation is rough,and rarely equal

Sing the Three Mantras-HOPE HATE HEAL...

THE INSTANT KARMA ISSUE

There is also a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and dibblers who have got the blues (OK, nothing to do with tiny marsupials who are listening to the new Bob Dylan album, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!

WEAVING TOGETHER

A carpet that heals,and flies

and is fully bio-degradable.Co-operation /harmony

as ways of being solution-focused rather than disaster driven..

Healing BEFORE it happens.Working with the wise,playing with the fools.

Musicians band together,like tribes of fellow travelers.This model works-

those with a common vision and common purpose tend to achieve results.

"Catalyzing Community Transformation" is simply weaving threads together

of those who walk the same path in different ways.WAY past politics-think CULTURE!

How icons of sculptures ,art and community murals sharpen consciousness

How community radio ,newspapers and TV sustain a positive ongoing communal conversation

How replacing Groupthink with Treasure Mapping and Goal Setting encourages the taking of risk/initiatives.

Funding is fickle-best to initiate with the resources one already has-even nothing is something...

Volunteers add sweat equity.Supporters and donors need to see work in progress.

BELONGING reinforces equality.Not as a cliche -more an action plan.BEGIN-AGAIN!

SHIPBUILDING

WHEN I WORKED THE WHARVES

(When there were wharves(pre-containers)

there was a joyful camaraderie among the workers

I thought of their losing battle against rust and redundancies

 How ships are eternal,but always become shipwrecks

How rats are married to the maritime,and travel as stowaways

How fire ants once disturbed,move somewhere else

Just like wasps do,setting up WASP HQ new

And we shift domicile,or smile and change shelter

into new hues.Any color will do-so long as it is a song

Pink?or Blue?

SANCTUARY REVISITED

Once,you could flee to churches

as sanctuary from State violence.

Now,undocumented /refugees

seek that same sheltering

Mothers with children fleeing from violence

Live in Churches with congregational support

Their lives depend upon your generosities

They have no appeal from ICE/authorities

Deported at first opportunity.Were we to seek succor

in a foreign land,as woman/child/civilian

what thin soup could we expect?Unless /until

we feed and shelter those hungry at our walls.
