"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!!"

POST-VISUAL WORLD
Everyone with a Smartphone is a
photographer
Everyone with a camera is a
documentarian/director
Our world as digital as edit and forget/fast
forward/rewind/refresh
Can you remember yesterday's
headlines/disasters?
How about last
week/month/year/decade/century/millennia?
Do not worry!It will all be
recycled!Chenobyl morphs into Fukushima
Disney into Pixar.Every film you have ever
seen will have a sequel/prequel/TV series spinoff.
Comic.con makes imaginary characters
immortal for Peter Pan Neverland addicts
And we will never know those myths and
legends they stole from
because pre-Grimm,pre-Carroll,pre-Norse,we
we never told..
Every Myth is Real.Every Legend
Repeats.Recycling occurs on every level
Spin your own mythology!Begin a
start-up/Kickstarter/GoFundme
Watch as the world moves on...
