"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!!"

THE ART OF FORGETTING
Forget the names of gods and goddesses-
they
have been replaced by products,offshored services- and apps
Gaia
no longer can control her moontides
and
Persephone desires a sequel to UNDERWORLD
Forget
Nature-your future is PLASTIC! Adapt!
Forget
freedom-hippy cliches never convinced anyone
Forget
music-hypnotism and repetition
Forget
art-price tags and parties
Forget
history-It never repeats
Forget
forgetfulness-morphing mutants rely upon this-
that
as soon as your eyes leave-your mind follows
Distraction
is an art form(entertainment)
Destruction
is only one letter away.That letter is U.
