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!!"

RECLUSES,UNITE!
WE WALKED DOWN STREETS FOR PEACE
we
wore signs and badges,symbols of release
We
engaged in dialogue with Killing Machines
and
we never relented when it came to civilian needs
For
was not education cheaper than THE BOMB
and
were not all Black Budgets just a war based horror film?
Veneer
to spy upon the innocent and drone in other lands
Now
those tiny incursions proliferate like CCCTV in London Town
Now
age and health have decimated the tiny few who care
and
when we gather we note how fewer we are there
We
call but no one hears.We wonder what to do
That
is why this petition is to the reclusive inside you
You
who ,taught to consume,believe blue TV light
and
you rarely argue,and never ever fight
Time
has come for every shadow soul to emerge into the light
7
billion recluses-come out!UNITE!
