"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!!"

SO THEY PRIED THE GOLD
from the mouths of dead
and they stole the gold and
silver ornaments
Pewter(which gave them lead
poisoning
and lead coffin caskets -by
weight/value!
They are still stealing copper
wires
Turing up at RECYCLE CENTERS
with derelict refrigerators
,broken computers
because someone said gold was
in there
Sand of silica not valued on a
beach
You rely upon metals and
minerals exotic
Satellites use refined
palladium
formulations just beyond our
Periodic Tabling
Value means use,function,form
and style
Apart from women's
jewelry
which is a far different
model...
