"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!!"

AGAINST MERIT
BET YOU I DON'T GAMBLE
BET
YOU I DON'T BET!
And
if i blow some dough on a Lottery ticket
it
is just cos i want to blow
ripped
up tix go a long way to prove
God
and Mammon are equally capricious
And
if the people can be easily fooled
What
use is government?BREAD &CIRCUSES for Romans
Manana
and Fiesta for Latinate cultures
and
if Fiesta becomes Siesta-who will reproach?
Confession
on Sunday expiates a week of decadence
The
system is good.The system works
From
numbers rackets ,lotteries to Casinos -
BLOW
YOUR DOUGH is a fatal attraction
Losers
sit by fave machines/expecting them to do their bidding
House
always wins(The Wages of Sin!)-yet still we return in hope
We
are addicted to losing.We are Children of Victims.
Give
us this Day-Our Daily Dope...
