Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 Thom'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 within 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?"

Empathy is hard when demonisation occurs
Indigenous,refugees,homeless,disabled
all feel that Nazi/Fascist crippling of contempt
that sees them as OTHER and UNWORTHY.

Covid hits prisons,Border areas,Spanish -speakers
Every emotion has a history.Ancient,reptilian'
How can we have equality when pain is never shared equally?
