"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 appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, 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!!"

WE ARE TEXANS -
and we have police
...because we are Independent and will not obey easily
They
do not obey, and shoot too easily
ending
the lives of young, black and independent Texans too easily
They
get paid too much, though unprofessional enough
to demand pay
raises when others are suffering pay cuts
We
do not need them blinking @road constructions
nor
wasting time with two cars at every intersection
hassling
our only homeless, disabled citizens
Overstaffed
with an unnecessary helicopter
a
horse division not needed at all - expensive videos unused
and
demanding digital self-surveillance
as
they cost us millions in lawsuits because of rebel attitudes
We
do not want them infiltrating OCCUPY
nor
instigating violent crimes. We do not want outlaw bad apples
ruining
the bunch.In fact, we have too much policing
and
not enough crime. Is that because they have
too
much money and time on their hands?
