"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!!"

WHOOPING CRANES
have allocated Reservations /for the remains of human
beings
after
the zombie invasion as predicted in WARM BODIES,World War Z,AFTER EARTH and
OBLIVION
We
have become a threatened species.Whooping cranes and salamanders
have
allocated specific water rights for our uses.Of course,the excessive amounts
have been contested
by
cave-dwelling insects in the Edwards Aquifer,and West Texas
lizards.

Country songbirds dispute that we need more than they subsist upon.
Barton
Springs Salamanders point out their dry drought waterholes due to rice farmers
upstream
and
the cranes habitat in San Antonio Bay stolen by oil and gas
refiners.
They
gave no rights of appeal to those industrial manufacturers and
households
who
had long poached shared natural resources ,adding chlorides and fluorides to
limited spring waters
And
they had actually sold rain water!In plastic-making more mess!Birds were not
impressed!
They
pointed out the Endangered Species Act did not protect eagle,hawk,fox nor
bison"Why,then,"asked the whooping cranes,"should we protect these encroaching
humans?"
