"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!!"

TO SAY NO IS TOO ACCEPT
ZORBA THE GREEK IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER
just
as GOOD SOLDIER SCHWEIK,EITEL,CANDIDE,ZELIG and YOSSARIAN are created
fictions
Yet
the resonance of Alan Bates recoiling when he hears Anthony Quinn
declare
'LIFE?It
means to undo your belt and go out and look for trouble!"(and then he
dances!Solo!
There
is a simple YES! required-an affirmation so powerfilled
it
makes mystics quiver with delicious possibilities
Librarians
reach for large reference books
Doctors
seek self-medication
Children
stare @the moon&stars seek therapy
YES!
is all you need to k(no)w-it embraces all
with
a hug and a cuddle and a willing word
YES!
is defiant-it spins dervish dancing in this world
between
atoms,it is a secret conversation
Without
YES! ,we would be always watching television
and
being watched on our smartphones
With
YES! we are open to the unk(no)wn
YES!
allows all to express.
Do
not be too impressed!
Just
say YES!
