Accept that we whistle
for our national anthem,
to accept moral or cultural compromises
for economic reasons
with people who hate us,
I prefer the honor to the business,
let us not sell our souls
to sell our products….

Oh, dear Yann, sadly this happens often. Profit does not take into account honor ...
I appreciate your voice here.

Love,
Margherita
