A Tv Star

A TV. Star. The man hiding in the light his persona, sparkling sunglasses not enough when we gloried in his mesmerizing peculiarity. We saw not the sinister black shadows behind him… except, from time to time we felt revulsion a glint in his eyes and shark teeth that told of what we didn’t want to know. He died a much loved hero, the abused stayed silent. Now the dark hideous nature of the man is for all to see; and must bring shame of those who knew but for the sake of his fame never spoke out. Pedophiliac, the seducer of children, his clunking gold chains we followed, to the tune of greed into the dark abyss of fear and loathing.
