Eagles Don'T Fly With Vultures

eagles don't fly with vultures
they rise above the carnage of sadistic sub-cultures
just like angels headed straight into the sun
never lost or led astray cause they always fly alone
born to rule with iron wings 
while vultures search and stalk for those dead and dying things
eagles dominate the sky like kings and queens
fearless and tearless they rip through threads of time
never jumping over dollars just to pick up dirty dimes
powerfully divine those birds of prey they hit their targets
while vultures congregate in mans mutilation markets
bad barkers make their threats and try to kill...
but the eagles blood they just won't spill
supremely they're selected from the one true king of kings
and when He gives the order eagles will destroy those fiends
they fly in my dreams as fathers of freedom
they rise above the world where those vultures keep screaming
life and love on eagles wings or death and darkness on vultures bloody beaks
and when i am surrounded by those wicked fools and fiends
when the loveless and the lawless try spreading their disease
i look up to the sky and my doubt is made quite sure
i walk this world alone and Gods truth is what i nurture
some flavors just don't mix and eagles just don't fly with vultures

A very interesting ideal you had with your rhyme Anthony. They really don't fly at the same level of the vultures. Congratulations, on your success with your presentation. Agape, Moses

Anthony, I admire you for sticking to your inspiration from God on this poem. It would have ranked much higher if it had met the contest requirements, but winning contests is not as important as conveying a powerful message. And that you surely did with this outstanding entry! Love, Carolyn
