Poetry is great, it vividly expresses how one feels, often about nature.

This is ideology - it has a distinct stink to it, an agenda, a point of view that wants other people to be other than they are.

Most people think this way - they just happen to have a happier disposition. Most people 'feel' a certain way and get taught a certain ideology (in school, media, friends, parents) which then shapes their worldview. Instead of questioning the world view they already have, they simply live in it and project wrongdoing and rightdoing (morality) onto others and the world.
