"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!!"

LOOK CLOSER
cracks in the structures
where figleafs fell off
chiseled Vatican/Assyrian rock reminders
hammered to dust
Men with beards and a purpose-to deny and
destroy
Culture had best not grow here!It is wilde
and does not easily conform
It will have no uniforms,nor guns.No
hammers,nor sneer
It absorbs divergence and makes more art
(even of breaking glass
Those books you burn(because you can only
believe in one?
Other copies will escape your fire and
swords/your Holy Madness
If religion kills,then kill
religion.Sleeping sheeples text and Tweet.
We see UFOs but will not believe.Even
paranoia is an implant.
Who are we told to hate this
week?.Brazil?Brave New World?1984?
Darkness @Noon?Animal Farm?or have those
prophets been banished-
their texts deleted from circulation?i see
cracks in your stone faces
Take off those black masks and say who is
paying you.
