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?"
ART IS ALWAYS ON THE FRONT LINE
Instead of bombs-depiction of dancers
Instead of guns-balancing gymnasts
Instead of destroying energy sources-adding harmonies
Instead of violence-art of peace
Every standing wall a mural
Every ruined village-a healing wall
Not to Wail upon -more to smile
For Peace and Art and Harmonies and Colors
are old Allies,in a Coalition of Creative Individuals
that includes Polish artists,Latvian and Lithuanian poets
Russian peace activists ,and every human being
who does no harm,but makes and creates
Visions of Possible Peace Patterns-
on every wall that would otherwise divide us..
