Pit bulls are fun and caring,
but sometimes can be indeed scary.
You know something is wrong when they stare-
They want to protect you everywhere
Pit bulls love you from the start
They hold you dear to their heart.
 
             by Deja




Judge the deed
not the breed.
So give a pit bull a try
before you sentence them all
to die

   by Sameer


Pit bulls are cool
Pit bulls are cool
I wish they would put pit bulls in school.

I have a pit bull
They are sweet.
But please don't put these pit bulls in tea.

They are protective
They are intelligent
They are elegant.

Pit bulls are cool
Pit bulls are cool
I wish they would put pit bulls in school

Passionate pit bulls
It comes from the heart
They cuddle and protect you
By far apart
Unless you don't love them
Like moon in the sky
Lying far apart

      by Seanna



My pit bull is filled with love.
He smells like white dove.
Sometimes I look down
but he is above.
He shines like light
He's faster than my bike
He's my passion
He's my life.

Shitzu

Shy at times
Happy to see you
Into you
Tardy again
Zooming away
Under the bed

    by Amanda



I am the one who fought for you
Because it's what you asked
I am the one who would have died for you
If to me that is what you tasked

I am the one who forgave each blow
landed upon my frame.
I am the one who denied my nature
To bring you blood-soaked fame.

Properly Distracting Poetry and Super Bowl Crostics


"If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence. If we desire a society without discrimination, then we must not discriminate against anyone in the process of building this society. If we desire a society that is democratic, then democracy must become a means as well as an end."

         Bayard Rustin


        Meditation of the Subject of Violence:

Very horrible
Ill actions
On the line to prison
Lost hearts
Enable your kindness
Not good
Contest of the baddest
Enable love
