I'm not a creative writing professor. But if I were I'd probably deem this, "A fine metaphor, but perhaps a little too heavy-handed."

Really, in a deep sense, aren't we all the bald eagle stuck in the car grille? And aren't we all just as ready to peck somebody's eyes out? pic.twitter.com/QWD6nOTwi0

Dropping the metaphor for a moment and focusing on the eagle, the Clay County Sheriff's Office shared details of the bird's rescue on Facebook.
We are all the eagle.
