"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!!"

IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL WARS
Survivors return with limbs
missing
Even children have arms blown
away
and need cheap accessible
prosthetic limbs
Here is where 3D printers come
in-Dr John Scholl's E-nable
can (via Makerbot) offer limbs
in bright colors and designs.
Would you like a Cyborg Beast?a
Raptor hand?or a Talon hand 2.X
Each can be made on a 3D
printer for between $20 and $50
(so long as the design work is
done by volunteers)
Thousands have parts of their
hands chopped via lawnmowers alone each year
Replacement limbs (thanks to 3D
printers)are now an economic reality
What Dr Frankenstein might soon
suggest
a 3D head?
