"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!!"

WITCH
WE ARE NOT FAR FROM THE
BURNING OF WITCHES
Casting of spells,attacks upon
difference
Divergence was threatened via
Fascism/racism
which revives like hot fires in
Europe as pogroms
Beheading of hostages forgets
Tower of London spikes
Hung ,drawn,quartered on
Glastonbury Tor
Third teat?or drowning in Trial
by Ordeal?
Torture at Bagram just so
Medieval
Still fire,and dogs,confinement
,and pain
given to those who think
differently,again..
