"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!!"

Re: what wants into this rain
WHO WE ARE IN THIS
Eyes
without a cloud/text sans machine
electrical
impulses sent out
to
find intelligent life down here
Metaphor
over meme
Lightning
epiphanies
If
we can stay awake there may be
no
more Gethsemanes
Still-repeated
beheadings
stonings
in words and in deeds
Deserts
still fill with blood stains
Camps
fill with war refugees
Think
on the needed medicine
Healing
and water and food
When
what is needed is not given
Seeds
of dissatisfaction
can
only be assuaged with soft words
Bandages
for torn apart,sweetness for the lost
who
reach to weapons too easily
We
can no longer afford the cost
Witnesses/participants/immanent
Watching
movies called TRANSCENDENCE!
(Trance
and Dance!)
