"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!!"

HAPPENS EVERY DEATH
SOMEONE TAKES THEIR LIFE
Commentators
crucify them posthumously
As
if depression were a choice/as if silence has a voice
As if talking
heads never got confused/about public life and private duty
Just
because one is in the public eye
gives
no one the right to slander,defame,or deny
every
body else's right to choose
Living
is a victimless crime
and
leaving is ,too!
