Australia you still shine'

From little Burke street; to Narramine. in Coonamble and Kempsey I've spent some time, worked on Longreach Station Barcaldine way, I know Rhee Chong Hyup... He was My trainer.' The early days.' I've followed the Murray and the Bidgiee too.' Now I'm too be found in London..Yet the dreaming holds true.' I still see apricot auras entwined with lava Red' such smouldering sunsets, are still, in my mind' i took My driving test just standing on a path.' That was in Young wow' some time has passed.? And now I see the devil is real.' I Have met the Lord.' And the present is?? Well almost unreal.' Digital transactions with a hand held device photos Taken.. And Crikey the vice.' The line between dimensions Is i find now blurred.' And my country is bleeding under taskmasters so absurd.' I seek no fortune..I ask not for Fame.' Yet the hour has drawn me and as for blame.' I am As guilty as any.' And the mental fight now is so hard.' Yet i am on my feet fellow Aussies.' Though most unworthy! if you will accept me? I am forever Your bard.!

"Rhee Chong Hyup" we have this in common also, have studied and taught some young ones as well. Great character builder. A lot I would do different, could I go back. Especially would be more civically active. Never too late. I am certain your poetry is inspiring many. Can't just go by comments, for you have many reads. Hopefully. Blessings my friend.
