Yesterday, after I saw a disgusting picture in The Times, I thought I’d write this:
Poem for a Big Bear
In The Times today I saw a bear
Two stories to keep beside you
Berkoff on Trump
Actor, producer and writer Steven Berkoff shares his thoughts about Donald Trump What’s wrong with the American people? How on earth can they be hoodwinked by such an obvious ‘fraudster’, ‘conman’, ‘charlatan’, ‘phoney’ and of course the final word, ‘crook’. An epithet he so fondly bestows on others, perhaps that shall be his epitaph. […]
Berkoff berates the Beeb
Steven Berkoff speaks for millions in comments about the dumbing down of the BBC Actor and director Steven Berkoff has never been known for mincing his words. That’s why we like him. In his latest comments describing much of what the BBC broadcast as “garbage” and ITV1’s Downton Abbey as featuring “a lot of […]
A great, big, beautiful polar bear
Spread out upon on the Arctic snow
Its great snout resting on an icy mound,
Its giant paws clawing the frozen ground
Its eyes half open but seeing nought
Death hath claimed this valiant beast
That trod the ice caps, plunged the seas
Pursued its prey, fed its cubs
Its life in a simple but harsh terrain
Magnificent and solitary soul,
You great big beautiful polar bear
Now lay lifeless, useless meat
But sharing this picture, just above its corpse
A human grinning beast, so ugly, so hideous
Wearing a yellow grin of triumph
That he the human beast hath slain
This glorious Arctic treasure
His bloated face was swollen with pride
As he posed victorious over the slaughtered hide
Clutching his arrows he felt so good, this filthy
Ugly human beast, how can you smile
You gutless fraud? How can you grin
When you have robbed the earth
Of one more divine element
One day a plague will hunt you down
Will pursue you till the ends of the earth
No escape for you and yours and it will fire
An arrow in your guts, and you will die a painful death
Gasping, rasping in your stinking bed.
Begging for just a little breath
No one will ever mourn your death
Actor, writer and producer Steven Berkoff is a titan of the stage and screen.

Well written Steven,these people should be culled,not the animals,they are arrogant SCUM!
This poem says it all. Despicable scum.
What a crying pity that animal couldn’t have got to him before he got his arrow from his quiver. Probably shot this magnificent beast in the back, like the fucking coward he is.
