Picture or preten-sion??

I knew it was not Alberts style.' Namatijira with scenes so
Bold and wild..The name of fame it caught me though.!! Guess its
All part of (the game?) Noteriety,  quick expos'e yet I can't
Help but wish for better.' I think  art? (in this case specially)! 
Shows the creator? in the letter..And not the spirit of ease
And grace..It didn't need to be so crass.? So shallow.?
So dashed.? It speaks of disgust.' Yet has it been earned?
By Gina Rhinehart..I'll study and learn.' Yet to be fair I heard
She was an 'uplifter?' And if thats true.?? I'll own her as a
Sister.' I'll put no more here, though I feel now sick.' As I
Contemplate.? Was this just a shallow trick.? This is a
Place I don't want to be..' I am as you all know a supporter
Of the best of, and for all Aussies.' I'm off for now.' Yet I'll
Put (true blue) can you reconsider Vincent?? Is this really you.?
Really what the world should see? And to Gina.' I can sense
Of the hurt..I see.' I hope you don't merit?? Is that the word?
Such rough treatment..upon my word.!! So I send my love
To the both of you..Let us strive for exellence' rekindle the
Spirit of Australia..It will see us through (i've made my mistakes it was a long hard road..But my countrys memory upheld
Me ( how i full well.. Now know!)
