"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!!"

Huff, Puff and Bluff
Once upon a time-Korea
never
got to finish their war
Troops
still mass both sides of borders
China
one side,other side America
every
now and Zen-pot shots@each other
Little
Boy Lost inherited ruler
points
to his Tourist Map Of America
wants
to smoke Washington,Hawaii and Austin
With
a haircut like that that's where he'd fit in
Declares a war with
a petulant pouting
All
his rockets are misfiring
All
his civilians are now starving
Crops
have failed/war of attrition
has
no benefit for anyone
Let
us play Zen a different game!
Peace
and love and prosperity proclaimed
Get
rid of all those guns and uniforms
Unite
Korea as one happy nation
and
if all he wants is more war games
Have
him play them on his own
with
no weapons/ just a TV on which he can see GAME OF THRONES
as
poetry!
