"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!!"

Sequestration
frustration Nation-
cannot
we forgive our debts
as
we forgive the Third World's?
Deficit

to
be applied universally!
Looking
UP to better example is a tall tale
Looking
eye to eye is equality
Can
we look in to this?
Small

Tiny

Gulf
Spill victims over BP
