"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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!"

primal,primate,primitive
Detective Silence was sifting through the remnants
of the fire that destroyed Rome,Washington
Lies,prevarications,character assassinations-
clues as to the actual murderers.Plastic and perfect,
a Glock that had not melted was blamed before Brutus.
Lance Armstrong testified against everyone.Even water burned.
Heat to the level of purple was applied .23 hours a day solitary.
Privitized contractors tortured random civilians.They all confessed.
This was Newtown,near Aurora,Littleton.Here every one was a gun.
Perpetual warfare made us all suspicious.Surveillance teams mounted.
At the slightest sound,bombs went off.Conspiracy Theorists(again!
Abraham Lincoln suspended liberties.This is a Republic.Not a democracy!
