Demonised and vilified,
I worshipped and adored.
You lost your way and injured me,
betrayed, abused, ignored.
That pedestal was way too high,
for you to stay upright;
alas your world came tumbling down,
your reign fell overnight.
Naivety and ignorance,
fell from my tired eyes,
I see you for your human self,
you simply were not nice.
