I was working at our Senior Campus at the time. Heck, I'm currently teaching teenagers who weren't even born then

It's truly frightening is what it is.

Yes, especially because we really never thought she'd be back. I mean, twenty years ago! Scary!

This old poem seems to describe very well how things are in the world right now.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Sounds about right to me! Whose poem is it? I seem to remember "ceremony of innocence" but not the rest.
