"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!!"

IT'S COMPLICATED
WE LOVE WATER
but mountains of emptied plastic
bottles
that will not be recycled-and endless
drought
We love earth-yet
earthquakes/fracking
We love fire-but bush fires
everywhere
We love abundance -still
poverty..
Trees?Deforestation.Birds?Hunting
seasons
Animals?Endangered
species.Mammals?
(that is you and me-and we have only
time-and energy
is in crisis mode-so we chew energy
bars/take pills
Remind ourselves of the strictly
temporal
Make do with what is/Bless This
Day
as if it were our First(and
Last)
