What Swamp Is There?

Where would be this "swamp"?
And what kind of creatures swim in it?
There are those who want to clean this swamp
And perhaps we should this minute

But I'm going to redefine this swamp
For the swamp I think of is much worse
And too many of us are swimming in it
And it is we who bear its curse

All across the nation
A swamp has taken hold
And the number of people swimming in it
Are a million hundredfold

Our swamp has a name
A name by which it's known
It's called the Swamp of Hate
For there's so much hatred in this zone

If we would clean the swamp
If that's really what we want
Then learn to love thy neighbor
Let love spring from our font
