APBT Poem I am just an animal but I am so loyal and true Provide a loving home, be my friend and I promise I would die for you I will greet you at your door with a wagging tail and a heart of love, every single day I will always love and protect you and when you are down I will comfort you in any way I will walk by your side, if you just be my lead You can teach me tricks; I will listen and do my best to succeed Thank you so much for being my best friend, most people shy away Regardless of what they tell you, I will never hurt you and by your side I will stay You’ve trained me well, and good I will stay, I will try to never be bad Just because of rumors and lies, don’t push me away, you’d break my heart and make me sad Yes, I am an American Pit Bull Terrier but I’ll always be there for you when you are in need Just because people train my breed to be bad, please don’t punish me. Remember: Punish the deed not the breed I love you very much, please never make me leave: I’m just an animal but I’m grateful for you Not only am I your best friend, I am very loyal too My breed is being discriminated against you need to raise your voice I was born into this body, this is how I am, and I had no choice Don’t let them take me away just because I am me Don’t only protect me, teach others, and make them let my breed be.

Boomer: When people begin to doubt how sweet and loyal you are, you will see me rise I will stand up, telling them the truth about your breed, no foolish lies Being an APBT, I don’t know what is so wrong about that. You are just a dog You run and play the same as any other, except sometimes you grunt like a hog Never let there glares or words affect you, keep pride in your step and love in your heart You protect me, I’ll protect you. No-one, not even the any law can tear us apart What your ancestors have done or seen does not matter now When they look at you, trouble is all they see, and I just don’t understand how Beat you with a stick, of coarse you’ll bite, lunge you at another dog, of coarse you’ll fight Love you, cuddle you, and give you the training you need: You’ll be just right You are our happy, loving and playful family pet Regardless of what others say, you are very special, you are my baby, and so don’t you fret Maybe someday they will realize you are not a killer, you are not a threat Then the American Pit Bull Terrier can finally be labeled as a family pet That will be the day I fall on my knees just to cry That will be the day we tell racism, fear and stupidity goodbye

This poems is one of my favs. I did not write it. (http://thelastresortrescue.tripod.com/poems.htm) great poems here, you all should read them!
You made me what I am today, courage at its best. You wanted me to know no fear, a cut above the rest. Not only did I master that, I've thrown in loyalty, too. Look past my eyes into my soul, you know I'd die for you. I'll watch your kids, I'll watch your house. Your praise will be my crown, ask what you will-I'll do my best. I'll even be your clown. But some of you don't like me, I'm sure I don't know why. The only thing I'm guilty of is courage, love, and try. But still they want to see me go, they want my breed to end. Will I see you sitting idly by? You, whom I call a friend? You made me what I am today, you never saw me waiver. I've done my best to keep you safe. Won't you please return the favor.

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see Do you only see a “Pit Bull” or do you really see me? Rottweilers, Shepards, and Doberman Pinchers have all been through this discrimination, I guess it’s just my time Simply being a dog, and being in this body is now considered a crime I’m trained very well; I know to listen when I’m told All I want is my owners to love me, and they want me to love and to hold I don’t know what’s all out there; I don’t know what wrong things others have done Give me a chance to show you I’m not mean, to change your mind let me be the one Yes, Pit Bull is my breed’s name, but why does that mean I’m bad? Let me show you how sweet I am, let me lick your hands it would make me so glad Think about the innocent, nice dogs like me, when you go to vote to ban: yes or no? Keep in mind how sad my family and I would be when we would have to say good-bye and when I would have to go

Boomer: Here Forever I will always love you, no matter what they say There is no silly law or person that will ever take you away You are where you belong right by my side And during life’s journey-the ups and the downs you’re here for the ride You keep me warm when nights are cold; you comfort me when I’m down When tears fall down my cheeks, you become my personal clown You guard me when I am in fear, and you’re always ready to play I promise to keep you forever, no matter what happens tomorrow, no matter what happens today I know you don’t understand why I worry; you don’t know how they think All your concerned about is giving them a smooch as soon as they blink They don’t know you because they hate you; they hate you because they don’t know you What choice do you really have? We will never understand how they can label you when they don’t even know I just want you to know that I will never let you go They say: “all pit bulls are vicious”, what about you? Would they call you an exception, what would they say? What would they do? You are not a statistic, you don’t kill and neither does your breed The media just adds to stories to get others to believe and they are always going to succeed Some day doubts will be silenced and my voice will be heard, then the discrimination will end For now, I know one thing, forever- no matter what others believe, you will always be my very best friend!

"I'm Sorry You Hate Me" by Felicia Daniels
Humans got together and made two dogs breed and two months later my mama had me
I'm sorry you hate me...
I was young and tiny and had a brain the size of a pea but that's larger than the love that you have shown me
I'm sorry you hate me...
I grew up around hate and anger and violence and when I needed your help the most all you showed me was silence
I'm sorry you hate me...
Men beat me and starved me and forced me to be mean,
They cut me and yelled at me and did things that I wish I had never seen,
I was young and tiny and beaten down and broken,
I was tired and lonely and all I needed was a token...a token of affection or even the littlest piece of your compassion,
But when it came right down to it you chose to do away with me like I had gone out of fashion
I was rescued and taken to a place called a pound,
I was handled and talked to and shown so much attention but because of my fearful and angry attitude I was deemed to be too dangerous
They put this thing over my mouth and drug me to a tiny little room where a man with a needle waited to grant me my doom
I was young and tiny and all alone and because of mean men I never got the chance to have a home
To experience love and happiness and be free of blame...I never even had a name
I was born and tortured and harassed by so much undeserved fear and mockery
I am an American Pit Bull Terrier and I am so sorry you hate me...
