"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!!"

LOOKING BACKWARDS
@a year where everything
happened
exponentially -especially
losses
i notice we remember those
who left last-Joe Cocker back to Joan
Rivers
back to Robin Williams back to Phillip
Seymour Hoffman
Memory pales over time-little icebergs stand
reminders of uniqueness-whether it be Mars
cameras
Oculus Rift,Bionic Hands-our technology has
become
invasive,intrusive,comprehensive while being
hacked and stalking us.
Data means data theft.Drones kill
civilians.Function becomes dysfunction
and accountability and control-whether over
wars or police violence
has failed.Market trends focus on products
not consequences
Computer waste accelerates.New model
iphones blind us
to a lack of need for endless new
models-seeking a Model T that is industry standard.
"You can have every color you wish for-so
long as it is black"
Kids in a digital toy store-but where is
adult supervision?
I see children with iphones.Adolescents
controlling drones.
How can 2015 transform life into
art?
