How Far We Have Fallen

"What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.'

This was one of the anthems of my youth and one of the first songs outside of hymns that I actually learned.  It was sung not only to protest the war in Vietnam but also in support of the Civil Rights movement.  My heart aches at how lost we have become from our ideals of how to protest and how to support.
