Be an eagle



be an eagle
don't be a vulture
for vultures are dirty creatures
they like dead and dirty things
a sign of weakness and failure
but an eagle catches it's prey
and slaughter them for it's meal
a sign of strength and power
so be an eagle
and don't be a vulture

    They both have to eat, one from the garage can, the other with clean utensils !
    One is keeping nature clean while the other keeps the food chain going !
    Everybody has a part to play, interesting poem !
