"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!!"

EVERY THING YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD
IS WRONG
When you put your trust in the
hands of another
make sure those hands are not
bought and paid for
Propaganda and "opinion
leaders"/TV talking heads/commentators
hate radio fomentors
,conspiracy theorists have agendas
Places are defined by
catastrophes-Pearl Harbor,Hiroshima
Beneath headlines,stories
await investigative reporting.
"Embedded "journalists are
fed slips of info as bribery
Each criminal may have a
different motive to the ones ascribed
Every "terrorist"has some
"cause"leading him/her to action
This is where books replace
TV,radio,newspapers
as explaining the WHY of Pearl
Harbor and Hiroshima
Better predictive reporting
than cliche sentimental hack headlines
WAKE UP! and smell the Hong
Kong Umbrellas in the nuclear /acid rain
Unfortunately, we have now sufficient
experience of terrorist incidents to formulate a simple rule: namely, almost
everything said in the first few days after the event will later prove
wrong.
