"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!!"
TO BE ALIVE IS EVERYTHING!

GREEN!"
His voice still singing
FREEDOM!,wrapped in pages
She has borrowed and responded
to.DUENDE?
She must go deeper into
TRISTE,LACRIMAE/
those mixed emotions defiant
yet sensitive to response
For every song of love is a
plea for freedom
Every uniform limits love/makes
OTHER of another mirror skin
Allows execution academic
,military,emotional
so we feel disconnected from
that DUENDE that impels response.
Burst heart out of red
pages,green hopes in Spanish bullets
that punctuate and punish
Freedom's Flag of Song
when to wear one's trust in
truth meets censorship ,and you
lay your only body on every
line...Duende..

Civil War in August 1936, by a firing squad fascist.
What
is man without freedom
Oh! Mariana tell me
Tell me how
can I love you
If I am not free, tell me
How do you
ofreceré my heart
If it is not to mine
