"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!!"

RESPECT
IN OUR AGE OF ELDERS
Example of longevity astonishes
demographics
of "four score years and
ten"/when
women and men outlast their
peers/and
stay mobile ,articulate ,prescient and
bright.
Example is everything-rather than clinging
to home ,hospital,hospice
they continue in health,harmony and
happiness.
No wheelchair bound limits for their
continuance
Bright minds still sharp as throwing
knives
Ageism gives way to respect for
elders
Ancestors show us how to
remember
to do more than just stay
alive-
This is your time to THRIVE!
