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!!"

ON DAY ONE
EVERYTHING SEEMS NORMAL
Usual
smog,usual traffic,usual gridlock
But
that Tree Giveaway @the Capitol did not happen
and
he who works for NASA is furloughed @home
We
learn what "essential"services are-Congressional salaries
When
"Kings expose themselves to what the wretched feel-
to
shake the heavens more just"/then i will believe
that
the 1% represent 99% of us.Until Zen,we OCCUPY
space
and time and add our energies to a society
where
every one of us is valued,valuable and valid-
for
more than votes,for who we really are/not for what we own
possess.dominate
or destroy.
