Dec 2019
Mistreated and bound tight in wires,
He entertains the crowd.
The whip burns like fire
And stings like bees.
He does what the audience desires.

They use him for his oddity
To attract an audience.
He is mistreated because he
Wants to be an average polar bear.
All he wants is to be free!

Instead of ice and snow
With fat seals and the cold,
He must stay in his new β€œhome”
Which is hot and uncomfortable.
But the crowd cannot know.
Based off of a National Geographic image of a polar bear in a circus
