"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!!"

WORD ON STONE
Moses
with his tablets
holding
down The Law
Commandments
mostly broken
by
his People Chosen
Graffiti
tagged on walls
Thieves
within the Temple
Writing
On The Wall
Empires
Always Falling
Statue
of Liberty a gift from French
Alex
De Tocqueville"Democracy In America"
French
Revolution to American
Very
little written down at all
Heads
rolled,heroes fall
Word
on wall of stone survives
longer
than our little lives...
