"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!!"

(Not So) GREAT BARRIER REEF
IT IS ALIVE!(this coral lives!
apart from Crown of Thorns grey starfish
apart from sewage dumped at sea
apart from coal sludge and every river
detritus
that must end up in the deep
Natural Wonder of our world
until industry moves in
leaving sludge and muck and mess
muddying..Now see with clarity
this Paradise Pre-Man.Endings ,not
Beginnings
of a plan.Leave this Reef be-pristine and
free,so we
might bequeath some natural beauty to our
children's futures
not just dry dull history..Let The Reef Be
Free!
