A Pitbulls Prayer
Mom and dad put me in a cage
But there is still enough room
To run around and play
The neighbors dog
Plays a little too rough
Everyone watches
And thinks I'm tough
They put a collar on me
And I think it's really cool
I guess they put spikes around it
Because they can't afford any jewels
But they can afford a sign just fine
And I think it's kind of mean
"Beware of Dog," it says
But the only dog that's here is me
They clipped my ears the other day
But I couldn't tell you why
It really hurt when it happened
And nearly made me cry
I wonder what theyll cut off next
My tail or something else?
But I love my mom and I love my dad
More than I love myself
I got put to sleep today
Because they thought that I was bad
All because a child hit me
So I hit him back
I promise I was a good dog
I couldn't even hurt a fly
I just wished they loved me
I just wish that I knew why
I'm in a better place
Where you play ball every day
Running wild through the fields
Enjoying the smell of hay
The people here treat me better
But I miss mine all the time
I am happy so don't be sad
That I had to say goodbye
