"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!!"

AND IF,RUDYARD KIPLING
IF YOU INVITE LIGHTNING IN
Do not expect not to be
illumined
If you invite a storm,
do not expect not to be wet
If you invite human beings
Well..you know..mess
If you opt for silicon chips
Export your jobs overseas
If you wish organic
Remember,death is organic ,too
And if you invite me in
I will invite you,too!
