"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!!"

FIRST WORDS UTTERED BY THE BUDDHA
in a supermarket of your choice
was
to denounce the bribery of sugar
make
an egg into your voice
"Kindness
and Compassion!"
in
your brainwash laundromat
when
mirrors lie/at your feet /broken
as
a symbol of regret.Egrets upon the wing
lift
away from vanquished habitat.We move in-
Neighborhood
is flat.Agitation/celebration
no more a war upon
the young.Medicated/mediated
they
struggle just like everyone.Jewel stocked Ft Hard Knocks
Braille
lingerie in the stocks.The key is to live without locks.
