"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!!"

PREPARING
SOMETHING WARNS US
but
does not give us warning
before
another shooting
We
KNOW it will happen
Some
will blame the gun
More
will ask-"NOT ONE MORE!"
What
stops peace?Fear of change?
That
we should wake up safe?
Guns
all locked away?
Tiny
planet/spinning spaces
between
us/bullets of glares
Before
they fire,we know somewhere
this
has happened before/and will again
Between
us-are we flowers or firing ranges?
Put
the guns of glares /back in their glass cages..
