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.
