"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!!"

IN PRAISE OF FEMEN
When Pussy Riot danced inside that Russian Orthodox
Church
protesting
links between Church and State/police proved those links
imprisoning
single mothers(hammer to a butterfly)
When
Femen protested inside the Vatican/guards assaulted them.
Same
when protesting Putin /lack of free speech and assembly/human
rights
fur
industry/violence to women/these brave bare breasted Amazons
reveal
how limited our rights are by actually practicing them.
Voyeur
media ogle at those individuals who use their bodies as flags and
petitions
with
slogans in capital letters stating their reasons-against
exploitation/
sex
industry/sex tourism/sexism..their causes are many and various/
the
results dictated via selective media attention.Freedom
warriors/vegetarians/
brave
spirits against so many patriachal dictatorships.We stand naked in solidarity
with you.
