Very Convincingly That Is Expressed

Overall,
People say...
They rather choose to do the right thing.
And very convincingly that is expressed.

However...
As long as doing the right thing,
Places them in direct competition with their neighbor.

And if the neighbor agrees to express equal aggressiveness.
With a declared nationalistic and patriotic pride.
Living in the Bible Belt supporting values of conflicts and wars.
And Republican.
With conservative outdated ideology...
That represents a small segment of society.
Responsible for today's marketed decadence.

Overall,
People say...
They rather choose to do the right thing.
And very convincingly that is expressed.
In fact...
These moments are better captured on canvas!
And idolized for those seeking images.
