"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?"
COLD GOLD
LUMPS DUG FROM BROWN EARTH
to shine in the hands of temporary miners
then in the grills of gold hot hit rappers
Flakes upon a Japanese rice bowl
Plated upon a millionaire's yacht tap
or Elton John or Elon Musk gold tooth shine
Nugget to veneer.Boiled to essence.Valued by carat.
Maybe on a gold plated AK47 drug cartel
or framed in art for discerning buyers
who do not ask questions about slavery
....nor fool's gold(iron pyrites)
For if all the Vatican gold was exchanged for food for homeless
Every temporary throne would still shine in excess.
