Notes About The Poem
HELLO ALL, I HAVE HAD MORE TIME TO CONSIDER STEVENS AIMS AND MANNER OF GOING ON.? I FIND WE HAVE POINTS OF CONVERGANCE.' HOWEVER WE DIVERGE ON TOO MANY OTHERS THE MAIN ONE BEING I SEE HE KNOWS THE 'BIBLE AS ALLEGORY WHICH IS UP TO HIM..I STILL THINK HE HAS STANDING..AND ATTEMPT TO TAKE NOTHING FROM HIM..AND DISPARAGE HIM IN NO WAY I DO PRAY HE COMES TO KNOW JESUS IN A REAL AND LIVING WAY..DEAR LORD GUIDE STEVEN AND HELP HIM IN (JESUS NAME AMEN.)

Steven Speirs'

There is a man that I am aware of, who delights
In our 'old blood and guts' he says he'll fly that
Flag forever.!!! Now some may well think him nuts.'
Yet he quotes about lines of lin-iage and of an
Australian commonwealth law, of treaty called
For and ratified in Versallies 'is this all for sure?' He
Speaks of God king and country, of indissolluble
Rights.? And that we have a freedom to bear arms (indeed to fight) in our countrys protection, for our own lives..And those of familiy and friends ( now are we all kings in our country? If this is right lets get on the mend)
Is this what he is 'speaking today?' Is he right  and
Sincere.? Should we lend him our ears.? Are there
Gems in the claims he portrays? Should we all raise (the duster) that is also called the 'blood and guts' that has seen us often to victory.' Is that
All it takes as such.? What if a tbousand law savvy? 'i am talking now credible folk' gave him some room, and consultation? To try his claims now.' To see.'  will this all hold up? for there may well be truth in the bloke.?

One man, in a desert in sandals, knew more than most scholars of his time. So, why not someone in a suit in parliament. If we cannot lead ourselves, in a way required, then why not follow, perhaps then unite with, someone who may see the light and is willing to follow said path? Poets can lead also. Their troops the hearts and souls of humanity. Great write, Joe.

I tried to do some research, Joe; so I know better what I am responding to. Do you mean the actor/writer Steve Speirs? He seems like a fine person. Starred in many famous movies from what I gather from the internet. Or do you mean, Australian Stephen Speirs who is a barrister and senior teaching fellow at the University of Melbourne? Does wear suits, but seems probably more comfortable as a hands on guy. The internet is not the best source for information, but it is mostly what I have.

Well this guy was in no suit last time I watched him Joe Dimino..Mind you i seldom wear one.' I will say.' In true Aussie fashion' he looked rough as guts matter of fact.' Yet so can i.' I think he's sincere enough as it stands.' Could be more patient.' But he is who he is..)

- There are often "gems in the claims" of these men - I am not "familiar" with the "man" you refer to... but a powerful and well written poem, Joe :) - hugs
