"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!!"

AMERICAN ROYALTY 2013
In every little town worthy of its name
young
girls and boys serve their Royalty of fame
Customers
line up,pay admission
to
devour their sweet Dairy Queen
They
have another ritual just across the road
a
separate franchise to carry home
Meat
of argument rolled in a bun
Yes
the Burger King is on your throne!
They
reign/they rule/these two /over you
know
what to do-pay for a portion of them
Take
away to your altars @home
Digest
their fast food meditations
You
know that what you eat you are
"When
you wish upon a star.."
