In my novel, there is a character who, in essence, is the Prophet of this generation. He speaks to the people of the United States about being good and faithful servants. Basically, he gets up on his soap box and tells the people of America what he really thinks.
I was thinking. If you could stand up on a soap box and tell America one thing, one bit of wisdom, or one prayer, or one exhortation, what would it be? What would you tell America?
So, please, tell me what America needs to hear...

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one."
That's for starters. I'll have more later.
Love.
That's the only concept we really need.
I'd talk about what Chesterton wrote.
"As we have taken the circle as the symbol of reason and madness, we may very well take the cross as the symbol at once of mystery and of health...For the circle is perfect and infinite in its nature; but it is fixed for ever in its size; it can never be larger or smaller. But the cross, though it has at its heart a collision and a contradiction, can extend its four arms for ever without altering its shape. Because it has a paradox in its centre it can grow without changing. The circle returns upon itself and is bound. The cross opens its arms to the four winds; it is a signpost for free travellers."
Rational thought traps us, and so many in America follow the materialistic world view, trapping themselves in that circle. But if they could make the paradigm shift to the cross, then they are allowing themselves to be embraced by the eternal arms of God's love.
Following Google's lead:
"Don't be evil"
Following Jesus' lead:
"Love God, love your neighbor as yourself. That's really all you need to know."
