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?

PAIN MANAGEMENT
DID YOU GO TO A CURANDERO?
Do you go on a Vision Quest?
Did you whip yourself like a flagellant?
Did you try extreme sports?
Did they diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome?
Did you try some"Natural "Cure?
Did you go to Doctor God?
Did s/he prescribe pills for you?
Do you know their side effects?
Have these pills worked for you?
Studies show that studies alone will not provide an answer..
Penicillin has now been outfoxed by Superbugs
Aspirin came from the bark of trees in rainforests
Research shows that profits made by "health Care"Corporations
are almost as huge as those insurance towers
Some diseases have no cure-greed,and a hunger-for power.

...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.
