1 narrow, upright, steel enforced cage (large enough to fit a bear)
1 steel plate with ports for electrical wiring
1 electrical heating system
1 music output system
Circus music recording of choice
INSTRUCTIONS
Remove a bear from his natural environment (by any means neccessary)
Force bear into steel enforced cage with little room to move except to stand upright
Initiate electrical current to steel floor at a temperature that will inflict adequate pain to paw pads
As the being begins to suffer from the pain, begin music and initiate spoken commands
Immediately the living being will begin to alternate feet for releif from the burns
The alternation of movement from paw-to-paw will simulate a human-like dancing movement
Alternate reducing and raising heat until desired motion is executed upon demand
Note: Continually assure that living being understands who’s in charge! If feelings of empathy for the living being begin to be experienced, be strong and remind yourself that any suffering experienced by a living being in the interest of entertainment is acceptable. While it is true that all living beings suffer equally, as long as it’s not YOU suffering, don’t inconvenience yourself with wasted compassion. A living being’s life in trade for a few minutes of entertainment is considered by many to be acceptable.
GARNISH
Decorate sentient being in bright-colored, eye-catching, comedic fabric
SERVE
Best served in large groups in colorful settings with ridiculous music playing in the background.
Recipe serves millions of spectators at the cost of $15 – $100.00 a pop, depending on the financial status of partakers.

Hands of men viciously tear her from her mother’s loving care
a wooden box their choice of containment of a tiny baby bear.
This story is told in honor of those who work to send the heroes there
and with hopes of raising consciousness of mankind everywhere
*
Stuffed roughly and mercilessly
inside of the box
in which she does not fit
she screams, she begs, she cries out
to her mother who paces
frantically, helplessly, hysterically
from behind the fence between them
she cannot reach nor save her baby
all pleas of mercy ignored
grace withheld
resistance futile
desperate claws
arms reaching out
hands of men,
ruthlessly
force the ultimate submission
carelessly inflicting pain
overpowered – letting go
heavy lid sealed down upon her
into the darkness
of only sounds
of her mother’s desperate protests
of hammering of nails above her head
and the heartbreaking clinkity-clink
of a handful of coins
her freedom in trade of
profit from animal trade.
*
Next light finds her
caged
all alone(ly)
her only company
staring human animals
who gain for the price
of a cup of coffee
a few minutes
of moderate curious satisfaction
at the cost of
her ‘unbearable’ loss.
*
In the pit of sadness
hope diminishing increasingly
she begins the gradual acceptance
of what is
as abused and captive
animal spirits
usually do
succumbing to indifferent emptiness
of the imprisoned reality inflicted
at the hands of men
*
Weeks pass
the sun grows hot
and just as the last bits of
her memory of freedom begin to wilt
a change fills the air when
riding upon white horses
of metal and roaring of sound
throngs of angels arrive
attached to
hands of men
reaching out to save her
gently,
protectively,
capably
lifting her from hell
and with loving whispers deliver her
into the promised land
of grapes and bread soaked in honey
to a place of space and care
absent forever from cruelty
to roam where peace abounds
a lifetime warrantee
(and a swimming pond)
man’s gift to her
a second chance at life
outside of the box.
