Words & Wordplay - March 2007

For example, "revolutionary" used to describe a new laundry deteregent. I thought the act of overusing a word would be to reify, but i did not find that in the dictionary.

Please help oh you erudite folks?

Thanks

In Europe and America,
There's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy
From Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie that we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is if the Russians love their children too.

"As in mythology, social values are reflected in the poetry of Carl Sandburg and John Frederick Nims." I don't really mean to say 'social values', because I will be talking about pessimistic/optimistic views on existence in mythology and poetry. Is there a better phrase than "social values" to express this?
