"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!!"

NIETZSCHE 2013
Mythmasters start with art of cartoons-i saw Superman in outline long
before Bruce Wayne in black and white TV
Louis
Lane a damsel in distress -even in black and white moral of 50s suits and
dresses
We
all have a longing for heroes-to be immortal-to be Men of Steel
to
repel bullets and still be vulnerable to Kryptonite emotions/to love and to fly
as
every boy wants to.Hence the refinement over decades of wish fulfillment
epics
Each
generation with a face to identify -same suit,different identity.Back story
remains- Bibical/Moses in bulrushes
Now
a new unknown makes myth of old.Soon we will pay for admission to the New
Lie
Man
and Superman-George Bernard Shaw or Frederich Nietzsche?-or Hollywood,L.A? We
buy
into
a false belief-that one godman can save us/that his sacrifice will be
enough
Deep
inside us-the core seed of harvest-that we need a savior-to fix the Middle
East/World Economy
And
if we cannot-why -look!Up in the sky!Is it a bird?Is it a plane?No!It is
SUPERMAN
Tall
tale from another planet come down to save us..disguised as Clark Kent,a
mild-mannered reporter
for
the Daily Planet-fights a NEVER-ENDING battle for truth,justice and the American
fairy tale.
Disbelief
his only Kryptonite.Nietzsche knows!Man is not Superman/and never will
be
We
are the virus .We are the disease..
