THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling 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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

The "HOW TO"of a WHY NOT?"

ZORBA WAS RIGHT!Yossarian  and Good Soldier Schweik-
Every one who comes to the conclusion-"Life is a door
and the windows are open!".Every road leads out-
Every dream -IN!   All directions=your own!
Energize towards a softer river,a paper forest,a greener garden
A wind as gentle as your sails are open!Today=START!
Adventures on the edge,in the middle -everywhere!
Your PERSONAL KIT includes 1.a (fake )smile
(to do until the real one comes along)
2.a naive trust(ditto) 3.free will(aligned w/joy!
Now-step to the edge(of each moment!

Now=FLY!

...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.
