Ok, this might not be quite Politicaly Correct right this minute, but The Speach reminded me of a couple of Bob Dylans songs.
From "TOMBSTONE BLUES":
The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
The city fathers they're trying to endorse
The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
But the town has no need to be nervous
The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce
And From "HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED"
Now the rovin' gambler he was very bored
He was tryin' to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61.

Hmmmm you forgot the Ebay connection in "HiWay 61" :
Well Mack the Finger said to Louie the King
I got forty red white and blue shoe strings
And a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?
And Louie the King said let me think for a minute son
And he said yes I think it can be easily done
Just take everything down to Highway 61.

Some time ago a crazy dream came to me,
I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three,
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kinda words he could say.
He said it was a bad dream.
.....
"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours,"
I said that.
There's a black Mercedes rollin' through the combat zone
Your servants are half dead; you're down to the bone
Tell me, tall man, where would you like to be overthrown
Maybe down in Jerusalem or Argentina?

Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody's shouting
"Which Side Are You On?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'.
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it's for real,
The hour when the ship comes in.
Then they'll raise their hands,
Sayin' we'll meet all your demands,
But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered.
And like Pharaoh's tribe,
They'll be drownded in the tide,
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.

Wasn't thinking of anything specific
Like in a dream, when someone wakes up and screams
Nothing too very scientific
Just thinking of a series of dreams

The Enterprise spaceship picks up two people who are fighting each other. They cause a lot of trouble on the space ship so Spock tries to talk with one of them. He asks, "why are you two fighting?". The person answers, "can't you see! My face is black on the LEFT SIDE and white on the other side. My enemy's face is black on the RIGHT SIDE and white on the other side. So that is why we are fighting." Spock of course says: "fascinating".
At the end of the episode the two humanoids beam themselves down on their destroyed planet, them being the last two survivors, and they continue their battle to the death. The crew of the Enterprise decides that there is nothing they can do to stop them from fighting so they just take off and leave them there.
