"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?"
FACTS ARE THE ENEMY OF TRUTH
SO I BOUGHT A FACTS MACHINE
Cos i wanted to know the truth
But that machine overheated,so overloaded with data
"Could not handle the truth""Beyond it's pay grade"
Machines like computers AUTO CORRECT philosophers
Making errors part of the learning
They may never get it right
I do not believe them
Facts change over time like the colors of swans
Facts are different in every age for every person
Different for the rich,as distinct for poor
Different facts if you are black,brown,yellow or green
Gold -plated facts if you have white privilege
Facts build us up and then demolish us
They pursue us objectively
We will never be free of facts
I prefer fantasies
