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?"


FACEBOOK&YOUTUBE SHARE VISIONS
of young Anonymous,on Washington streets First Bleeding
For their youth,they face the Walls and Wars with singing
In Turkey,thousands stand in silence.This is what they are saying
WE ARE CRYING/AS MOTHER EARTH IS CRYING-
FOR WE ARE ALL ONE.And the young police person
and those Veterans @Standing Rock.They see the same vision-
we cannot harm another without smashing our own mirror.
Image is illusion.Narcissus/Solipsis.We Are Tears Shed in Common.
Whether standing together in silence or walking in solidarity against violence
on the face of our only earth/borrowed earth/rented time.We cry
because we know Change is coming.Dream?-or Vision?

Even the streets are singing!

...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.
