"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!!"

RAGE
Some fires go underground
They smoulder like September 11
Truth may cool those embers
down
but the termite C4 planted via
war
lasts many arguments.PTSD
is shell shock re-packaged.
Domestic violence a buried IED.
Long time after,he explodes.
For no obvious reason.Just
does.
Like Al-Anon,inner circle suffers
Speechless and numb-from the
shock
of intimate explosions/from buried
bombs
Peace is what we want.Wars are what we
get
Broken people and damaged psyches seek
healing
Each with a short fuse coming out of
them..
