"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!!"

MIND TWERKING
Battle o the Concepts-Austerity YO! vs Prosperity HO!
Selling
off the PUBLIC PROPERTY fo PRIVATE PROFITS see
Gotta
battle with peace tactics when you deal with KILLA police
Taxes
pay for dogs n mace that they pepper spray yo face
when
you exercise yo free speech rights in every public space
You
are a PUBLIC CITIZEN,digital camera in hand
when
violence in uniform infiltrates our peaceful stance
They
got cameras on the block-we got cameras in the shops
Upload
on the download showing everything we drop
We
got smiling attitude they outta line n quite rude
when
oil pipelines sacred lands violating trespassing for crude
Got
no weapons in our hands just fourth estate again
Maintaining
independent media so we can be a freer nation
Here
we are-we stake our stand/on this our only land
We
know we may never come this way again
As
we rising fo our rights/we do not choose to fight
Just
align with what's right when we on these streets each night
Just
looking for some peace -call it freedom of speech
When
we assemble in our tribes there will be poetry tonight!
