• No one in this country need go hungry, and alleviating the problem is primarily a matter of readjusting our priorities. In both the government and the private sector, self-interest has displaced the ideal of community that made this country great. The old world view of "us, we, our" has been replaced by "I, me, mine." The reasons for this are manifold and complex, but at the end of the day, we need to remember that, if one of us is suffering needlessly, all of us are diminished.

• O' beautiful for spacious skies
  But now those skies are threatening
  They're beating plowshares into swords
  For this tired old man that we elected king
  Armchair warriors often fail
  And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
  The lawyers clean up all details
  Since daddy had to lie
  But I know a place where we can go
  And wash away this sin
  We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
  And the tall grass wave in the wind
  Just lay your head back on the ground
  And let your hair spill all around me
  Offer up your best defence
  But this is the end
  This is the end of the innocence

  Don Henley

  Beautiful, Song, Kings
