Rob Ayling writes: "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!!"

WE FORGOT WHICH FLUID WAS WHICH
we poured coke into our engines
corrupted,corroded,made
crash by oil confusion
we
poured junk food in our system
sugar
crash,salt heart attacks
5
hour energy drinks,caffeinated nation
racing
hearts around tracks of habits
addicted
to familiarity/repeat patterns
Disney
and Pixar personified
"when
you wish upon a star"
we know our
"leaders"will betray us
we
know this food will leave us hungry
we
know this drink has salt and sugar
so
our habit forming doctors
will
hand us habit forming medications
My
friend starved himself from diabetes
His
iron will won-diet over exercise
Epidemics
of junk fill the arteries of fast food nation
Served
fast track so no one will remember
the
first line
