The Eagle, the Dove Or the Turkey - Which Bird

The Eagle, the Dove or the Turkey: Which Bird? In January 1784 Benjamin Franklin said, That “The bald eagle…[was] of bad moral character”; Called him poor, lousy and a thief, validated the turkey, Which, he said, was “a true original native of America." Although the turkey’s eaten at Thanksgiving, And every American should appreciate their life, It’s beginning to be enjoyed at Christmas time, About which some religions don't give a hoot, and are not acting. The dove traditionally signs for peace, And forever will, all things being said, And although America is a superpower, It is not to me, and never will be, the world’s head. Even though Russia just now is playing with power, And America may be valid as interacting with it, The United Nations for me is the force, To call the shots for how governments should sit. To me, America, stands for all people, Any person can emigrate and find a life, Because its weak and vulnerable are nurtured, To get a challenge out of strife. The bald eagle for me, with its wide and large nest, Should be the symbol of America, with its Great Seal approval, Because it says to me just anyone has stance, By that pure white head which its brown body does enhance.
