"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!!"

"EAT THE RICH!"the punks proclaimed
"STEAL FROM THE RICH TO GIVE TO THE POOR!"(fictional Robin Hood)
"From each according to his means/to each according to his wants"(Lenin)
yet one million died of starvation after that revolution.
Gotta ask-where does wealth come from?Inheritance/Wise investments?
Personal acuity applied entrepreneurially?ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Graduated tax brackets seek to share the wealth
Governments stimulate and punish via taxes
UK have high gas and road taxes to discourage car overuse
Texas claims low taxes to stimulate growth and productivity
Mammon and Baal still rule in Shopping Malls
Conspicuous consumption still sold to the young
Brand names and bling "It's No Big thing!"(Gospel of Katy Perry)
Still Buddha is homeless."The poor will always be with us"
Still separation of Church and State-yet Churches pay no taxes
Still Church outreach is a major subsidized community welfare outreach
Still this paradox unresolved.Still jails fill with indigent
35% of Texans subject to debt collection agencies.
BE YOUR OWN WEALTH!SHARE WHAT YOU HAVE!THIS PARADOX IS NOW YOURS!
