"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!!"

WHETHER WE KNOW IT OR NOT
WHETHER WE ADMIT IT
we are in this picture.
Whether we painted it,drew it,directed it
we all have roles.@times the scripts seem
improvised..
The sets slipshod/the plot &direction
unclear
Others have a perspective different to
ours-
they may have been here
longer/deeper/brighter/braver
or they might have a clue where our life is
heading
because we are intertwined.A suggestion
here-support there-
pilgrims on the path stopping at a drinking
fountain.
Anonymity no longer exists.Warhol's "15
minutes"is now a FACEBOOK status update.
You are both known and will be
forgotten.While we are here,
come in..have a cup of tea..settle
down..relax
We may be in this scene for a very long
time..
