American Dog

Look at you barking at your pile of shit

So filthy, such an animal

Go ahead put your face in it

You're just a dog

care about yourself

but give your loyalty

to the "big brother" you've grown to love

Bark at the animals lesser than you

you're an American pooch

care about yourself

but give your loyalty

to the dog trainer in his big white house

pledge your allegience

by fighting his enemies

and dying by the bullet

but it was all worth it

you're a dog and you have the pride

and the obedience to die

if it means to save your owners life

care about yourself

but give your loyalty

to the man that gives you little treats

and promises more

but gives you the same

You're a filthy redneck dog

but it's ok because you're tame

Joshua Ambrose. First off I cant believe I didnt know you could write this good. Im commenting this poem but it goes for all of them. Read them all. Yeah, they're amazing. They're so brutally honest it makes you want to cry, but theyre all true and show a ton of meaning and emotion. Yeah this is getting super sappy buttttt I love them. Theyre awesome. Love you Mr. Joshua Ambrose. You're completely amazing.

Well, I have to be honest, after I read the first few lines I was going to stop reading the rest, but then I forced myself to read on and I ended up liking this...a lot. I've read your other poems but this one stuck out the most. I absolutely love it when someone can write about something other than relationship problems and depression.

Congrats doll, keep writing, you're quite good at it.
