Along the Lines Of

In the light
 
 The majestic eagle will have a true desire, to follow its quest, by keeping a great number of pest in check, conducting business by light of day, and finding itself remiss by cloak of night.

      Clay pigeons

 Cowardice makes mice of men, hubris makes pigeons of politicians, both are pesky critters, but the pigeon struts around fearlessly with its chest bowed out, while crapping on us all from high places.

      Explicit
 My goal is to piss everyone off, because I aim to speak the truth.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
