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?"
TRUTH TELLER NOT TRUTH SELLER
Now the documentary of his life
And he is in it and part of it
As he works with the camera to record
Events that changed his (and our)world
"World War Two was fought by children"he opines
And he was young (22)at that time,and did not know
the events that would transform him so
he wrote to purge the horror from his mind
and in so doing,gave us dark visions
of the Black Mirror of our WAR UPON CIVILIANS times
Now he shares his life-shades and Light
We watch this not as a documentary
but as a Dance of Sound and Fury,
more as an Affirmation of His Life...
