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!!"

YOU ARE, HEAR
YOU CANNOT GET OUT(of your mad Russian skin
neo-colonial
Imperialism.Ideas of EQUALITY sprayed chemical mist
while
every black male gets incarcerated.You can not get out -of air
poisoned
and poisoning so much carbon dioxide oxygen machine trees stutter and crack
You
can not get out-of death.Do endings determine tales?Was pain
authorized?
Do
you have a consent form for divergence?Will questions provide
answers?
Don't
ask Socrates,pouting with his Athenian youth and Xanthippus.She speaks
hemlock!
You
can not get out-of conundrums beating.Public/private-transport,data
mining,camera surveillance.
You
can get out of kitchen duty.Take-away!Be disposable.But Zen you have to
deal
with
endless philosophical riddles.Angels on pinheads.Forests falling into
skyscrapers.
Air
that is arrows.Answers that only confuse...
