"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!!"

WORLD OF WALLS
CALLS
Art hears and
tunnels in.Guns are pointed @art
to show Art is not
welcome.Broken stone and bodies within
Daub colors upon a
wall-kittens @play and words of witness.
Art must live so
people can make gardens instead of walls.
Seeds are planted
so gardens can grow.
Who is brave
enough to go to Gaza?
What art awaits
when willing witnesses speak?
If we are
unwilling to forward this art bravery
THANK YOU
BANKSY-for revealing this..

Zable shared Palestine
Festival of Literature's post.
Apparently Israeli security did shoot warning shots and
trained their guns on Banksy as he entered Gaza.
Banksy has gone to Gaza and done four new pieces of
work.
He published the photographs with this statement: "A
local man came up and said ‘Please – what does this
mean?’ I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting
photos on my website – but on the internet people only look at pictures of
kittens."
