"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!!"

TYRRANY OF LANDSCAPES
How much of this skyline is yours?
A
box?A room?A flat/A home?
A
heart?A liver?a kidney?A spleen?
And
when you vent-it is because of
1.privilege?
2.entitlement?
3.ownership?
4.pique?
5.angst?
Inside
your ears-auricles spiral;ling on
No
straight lines on your body
Yet
skyline of squares&rectangles
You
are not your city.Its cage is not you.
Flow
with the river trapped in dams.
Be
Hydro-Electrically!
