"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 and 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!!"

TALIBAN DESTROYING BUDDHA SCULPTURES IN
CLIFF FACES
ISIS pulling off images of past
civilizations,and destroying history
More sinister than the selling of plundered
oil is their marketing of antiquities
Our civilization comes from this Middle
east-writing from Sumeria,art from everywhere
Iraq/Syria hold our history as a heritage of
many influences.To destroy via drones,bombings,militarization
is as reprehensible as simply selling off
the past to those who plunder for profit.This is religion-Mammon over
Mecca!
Little Lebanon has cracked down on the
marketing and selling of stolen art and artifacts.But failed States cannot
enforce such laws..
So these daily skirmishes become RESOURCE
WARS-instead of wars for oil ,water or power
"he who owns the past ,owns the future".Ask
your arms dealers.Then ask your Art Dealers..
