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!!"

FRACKING AND STEPHEN HAWKING
Man who made Woodlands also made fracking
Loved
theoretical physics and astronomy
Woodlands
now center of Anadarko Petroleum Corp
George
P Mitchell supported the superconducting supercollider@Waxahachie
regretted
the loss of"valuable science"when it was shut down
Now
a lecture hall is named after Hawking
An
outdoor concert venue named after Mitchell
(whose
real name is Savvas Paraskevopoulos)
who
substituted"How can we do this?" for "We can't do that!"
who
made his fortunes out of oil and gas and real estate
and
then gave away millions to Universities
Now
a statue of Mitchell @the Woodlands
Fracking
and Stephen Hawking still live among us
Our
water supplies are getting nervous
This
is not theoretical physics
SO WHAT IS IT?
Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at a high pressure in order to fracture shale rocks to release natural gas inside.
