"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, 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!!"

Bradley Manning placed in solitary confinement
Conscientious objectors given white feathers and jail sentences
Quakers punished for their pacifist beliefs
Civilians bombed,shot,assassinated /droned to death
Wars kill us and make arms dealers profits
Since spear,fire,knife,weapon-we have attacked each other
and the soft have been stoned by the hard
Look @where and why wars inflame your imminent demise-
Syria,Sudan,Mali,Yemen-all undeclared yet just as deadly
as
Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan!
If"the truth will set us
free"why is Assange surrounded by Brit police?
What
drives hackers to self-suicide(Prosecution/persecution)
When
can we be told the true costs of silence?(violence!
