3 decades you've stood,
Proud, strong and tall.
A place of knowledge,
For students, one and all.
A true Queen like you,
Deserved a graceful end.
Not the heartless monster,
To which you now must bend.
The claw cuts your roof,
Twists and rips your wall.
Your innards lie as rubble,
Strewn and visible to all.
Your memory though will stay,
And always will live on.
Long after your body,
Is broken, cleared and gone.
