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!!"

LIKE YOU, (I USED TO LOVE TO FLY)
UNTIL TSA TREATED US LIKE CRIMINALS
and
planes with armed Marshals became prisons
equipped
with handcuffs,guns and Tasers
and
staff no longer treated us/just neglected us
with
cursory coffee/cola and a sneer -good-bye!
Seats
are far too thin/uncomfortable
Planes
are crammed to maximum profiteering
One
can no longer just relax among the stressed
as
we cram our luggage in their already full bins
We
pay for all this twice in our ticket and in the skies
when
every flying moment could be red alert
We
are told to be vigilant,with these false flag terrorist alerts
I
think it may be time to find a private airline
Saves
Customs,Immigration,TSA interrogation
Yes-the
rich have their own ways of flying high
So
bye bye Cattle Airlines-if i cannot travel by road or train
I
will hire a light airplane and enjoy the high life -TO THE
SKIES!!
