This is my ode to the infamous Ned Kelly,
A man who came out of Australia’s underbelly,
A man who died at only 26,
Sentenced to death out in the sticks.
It was in Glenrowan he took his last stand,
Along with the members of his bushranging band.
On November 11, 1880, Ned Kelly was hung,
Since then, many a folk song has been sung,
About this young man who caused quite some strife,
And upon execution, said, “Ah, such is life!”
Ned Kelly

Can’t feel his ghost around there these days, but it must have been such a hard life….& by all accounts it seems like he was a rebel who stepped outside the norm (which these days we applaud, & was probably out of necessity), & therefore was relentlessly perused along with his family. Poor Ned!! He sure was a spunk in his last movie though…:))
I agree…a victim of circumstance…
