"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!!"

CAN YOU FORGIVE YOUR FATHER?
and i want to say ..but then i hesitate
Every
New Age affirmation gets delayed
by
inertial engineering.Do i affirm abuse?
Is
it right to speak ill of the dead?There must be some solace
somewhere
to
turn all past into a clear channel .Move that muck so it no longer limits
change
For
all his world has gone with him.And i am left(alive and kicking)
And
even if i block,or limit healing-it will happen.Simple to say...
but
then i hesitate,knowing my reactions block today
And
if the child can be freed/adult can be
responsible
for emotional responses.Easy to say
Harder
to be unconditional.Some solid block holds on
to
anger and to grief.He has gone.I am not he
who
does these things.Stranger karma sits to judge me
for
these reasons i must forgive myself-leave him be
wherever
his presence may find a home.No one knows nor cares
They
cannot see him here.They ask me.Yes-i forgive .Me.
