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!!"

HOPE IS A BABY
PRONE TO DISAPPOINTMENT
awake/awakening.The
preparation-so much
is
out of our hands.Cut/curve of sliced grass.
Glass
half full of emptinest.Pigeon's egg.Dumping Humpty
walls
talk distances divided.To make slow,be slower.Grasshopper leaps
drink
grumbling gridlock.Around towers of antique powers,we forget
whose
emotions bought these chess pieces/to represent Persian War Games.
In
bedrooms and head shops,village plots openness.Gossip fuels
foolishness.
Guilt
via knowledge .These are OTHER.We,The People,continue
on/volunteering.
Stores
of Anger and Umbrage,Chutzpah,Hubris and Exceptionalism/Manifest
Destiny
denies
equality/makes accidental asylum anarchists of Tea Party puppets/pressure group
politics
Knee
jerk game playing provocateur saboteurs shutting down and getting paid not to
resolve self-created crises
Traffic
slides around EMERGENCY Regulations.Equal and opposite forces.Physics of applied
thuggery
"Ask
not what you can do to your country."And,on the Third Day,crumble and
contempt/collapse only occurs
when
we talk to the puppets not the hands inside their programmed
pogrom..
