"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!!"

Change.org or remains of OCCUPY
Adbusters,Atlantic,Economist,Wired
All seek an activism now firmly historic
A commitment i find in few communities
I admire Quakers,Shakers,Luddites-
direct action,direct response
My head seeks no more batons to practice upon
I see those deaths by tasers
Global warming,climate change,Peace In Our time-
all call for boots upon the ground
I drone on .You will DELETE me.
Even poetry becomes history.
Truth is fiction to Power
Conversation always needs a dancing partner
