Of late I've had this thought, that this country has gone backwards four or five decades

And that all the advancement, the good feeling of person toward person

Has been washed away, has been replaced by the same old bigotries.

The same old bigotries.

We have more than ever the selfish wants of power,

The disregard for the weak.

We have more than ever the disregard for the old, the impoverished, the helpless.

We are replacing want with war, salvation with slavery.

We have wasted the gains.

We have become rapidly less.

We have our Bomb.

It is our fear, our damnation and our shame.

Now something so sad has hold of us, that the breath leaves and we can't even cry.

We can't even cry.
