"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!!"

THEY SAY
WE CAME FROM THE STARS
and we are (according to Joni
Mitchell-
"made of star dust""we are
golden"
but you cannot drink dust in a
desert
and all this fracking stole our
water
so drought seems eternal
and wisdom is water
Sometimes it is good to be dim
to not see the Light evident
to rail against Darkness
to protest against Night
When Age totters in
with nothing to say
You may regret
your modest display
SING PEACOCK!SCREECH!
Hold back that wall of water
you evoke with your laughter
Stars are history.Magic is
Mystery
projected on our eyes and ears
when we begin-to
sing!
