Dogs always forgive
Humans say Elephants never forget and I bark Dogs always forgive,
I am a creature and I am a captive, I am a Pitbull and yet my owner is the greater savage,
I am beaten and starved, I have been abandoned and scarred, flea bitten and disease ridden.
I live in a cardboard box in the overgrown back yard, it breaks my heart as I long to be kissed, hugged and fussed like all the other dogs at the park.
I howl and cry for you but you are never there, I fill my empty water bowl with endless tears.
You beat me with a belt, call me names, slap me with the back of the hand and kick me in the face.
When you approach to hit me again I do not growl, instead I lick your hand and wag my tail. We are a pack and you are the alpha male, if you got lost I would track you down, if someone hurt you I would hunt them down. If they took me to the dog shelter I would escape and return home.
Others have abandoned you including your parents, children and wife but I am by your side. You are evil, cruel and unkind but you are all I have and you are mine.
We are a pack of two and despite all the abuse my love is true.

.:Me and Dawg:.
my
bow-wow
is of the
here & now
tricks
and treats
no need to
scowl
cuz, eyes
remember
early on
crews
would choose
all day long
snarls
and bites
them walled-in fights
cats clipped
had little
rights
incisors
chomped
each ear & paw
t’was bloody work
to produce
a fall
any
of us
could’ve
lost our life
many did
t’was ripe with
strife
acquired
some wounds
along
the way
slim chance
to heal
that didn’t
play
but I was
lucky
saved by Dawg
we still
2gether
that daily
jog

A shock collar by any other name
Still delivers the lightning
We're all trembling, it's frightening
Which of us will be thrown to the wolves next?
Tail between my legs
Hiding under the bed
Maybe they'll forget all about me
Just another piece of their property
All I want is to run and run
In the meadows of eden, with my kin
But night after bloody night
They force me into the ring
Even though it's not a perfect circle
But a wooden box stained with the crimson
That came from those before me
That will grow deeper with each dog after me
As we scrabble in this pit, for life
You can't imagine the bone shaking horror
To be forced to tear at another
Innocent, shining soul
Lest our lives be over
Still delivers the lightning
We're all trembling, it's frightening
Which of us will be thrown to the wolves next?
Tail between my legs
Hiding under the bed
Maybe they'll forget all about me
Just another piece of their property
All I want is to run and run
In the meadows of eden, with my kin
But night after bloody night
They force me into the ring
Even though it's not a perfect circle
But a wooden box stained with the crimson
That came from those before me
That will grow deeper with each dog after me
As we scrabble in this pit, for life
You can't imagine the bone shaking horror
To be forced to tear at another
Innocent, shining soul
Lest our lives be over
