"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!!"

FOR THE LOVE OF STORIES
i would listen to her speak of
gurus
How her eyes aflamed for Sai
Baba,Baba Muktananda,Da Free John
So we went Guru
Shopping-checked out the Hari Krishnas
Sexual segregation-women
cooking ,men drumming/dancing
Stayed for the free food/felt
no need to return
Went by invite to a Bar
Mitzvah-again-long,male,dull
Even the free food could not
compensate
Went to the Spiritualist
Church-where channeled spirits
gave vague messages to random
people.My Doctor said-
"Just because they are on the
other side,does not mean they are smarter!"
Every Church-stained
glass,altars,prayers.We wanted SPIRIT!
Finally settled for WHAT
IS-wind,earth,fire,water-elements and elementals
Does not require belief.Nor
tithes.Never disappoints.Always fresh!
