Rob Ayling writes: "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!!"

THERE IS A REASON FOR CIRCUSES
to consolidate and present spectacles of WIZARDS and
DRAGONS
with
mostly live human acts representing wild tigers of emotion
elephant
wisdom,jumping through hoops like lawyers
contracting
with audiences to represent the PERFECTLY IMPOSSIBLE in 2013
like
hitch hiking ,irrepressible optimism,astonishing agility
and
abilities to survive peacefully and in harmony with each other
like
boy bands continue to reincarnate even when adult
and
Disney stars turn to porn and torture pop ,heavy metal replacing
folk
Everything
mutates.Everyone morphs.Suburbs become cities.Real estate cages
So
we need circuses to prove we can still jump through fiery hoops
leap
over daily debts and discharge duties rather than guns.This is why we still
come
to
the conclusion about politics.And ringmasters.And animal
survivalisms.
