"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!!"

A LONG HARD LOOK @THE ASHES OF WAR 2014
Whistleblowers
punished(not rewarded)
Journalists
persecuted,imprisoned,shot in warzones and beyond
Civilians (
collateral)damaged more than fighters
Prisons
for profit filled with non-violent (drug)offenders
Philosophy,arts,poetics,play,
purged from public curricula
Cutbacks
/austerity applied to all community resources
Endless
war ,continuous propaganda,deficit budgeting,black budgets..THINK!
It
takes no esoteric to see what we say and do diverge substantially
If
we were to practice what we preach-marijuana would be marketed
same-sex
unions legalized,prostitution regulated,abortions subsidized.
All
of these are selective events in 2014.Universality only applies to
surveillance
Rhetoric
no longer disguises intention.Computer literacy enables a new
meta-speak
The
Net is censored,monitored,regulated in different ways in different
jurisdictions
When
it pleases,all cell phones can be disabled /all privileges
withdrawn
Shopping
is the new season.Culture a distraction.The real business is war.on
divergence
Philosophy
becomes advertising when product placement infiltrates
politics.THINK!
