"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 appearences 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!!"

Rimbaud's 'Letters of a Seer" updated 2012
If you wish to dream in public - derange your senses!
You
are always someone else. Soldiers jeer at civilians
while
eating their soup and wives. The song of today is war.
Gunbursts
replace songbursts across Syrian borders
inveigling
Turkey, Russia, America, Lebanon. Those who play
games
with words are cages for dead birds. Blood urgency flames oily
graves.
Romanticism
for McDonalds slaves! Managers on minimum wage!
Antiquity
expressions Olympic Events high jump over herded minds.
Knowledge of
oneself is paramounted. "All forms of love, suffering, madness."
To
reach the unknown one must leap through visions!
"The
poet is truly the thief of fire"/responsible for
animals,humanity,self.
What
you create will be heard, felt, smelt, touched, tasted - tangible!
Number and harmony
will endure.Women will explicate mysteries and become
them.
Make yourself into a seer - report back from the
fire. Burn all pasts. Embrace your futures
