We don't need another JEREMIAD...do we?

What's the word I'm thinking of? Today, it's...

JEREMIAD [jer-uh-MY-ud] (noun)

A long lament or complaint, or an angry harangue, derived from the name of the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah

"Yes, a Jeremiad is needed. But not Mr. Noyes's kind of Jeremiad. For the whole effect of his Jeremiad is that we are going to the dogs, and that there is absolutely nothing good in free verse."
--Edmund Kemper Broadus, "The Lunatic, the Lover, and the Poet" in The Canadian Forum (1922) (TWITO, page 77)
