Progress was being achieved and advancements were being made.
We were on our way to eradicate hate
There was a collective effort to eliminate hatred from society.
Yelling and yelling for years

Evolution going the wrong way?
Raising questions about whether the process of evolution is going in the wrong direction.
Did we collectively lose our compassion

For a more inclusive world
Efforts were made for a world that embraces diversity and inclusivity.
Took our eye of the ball

These days hate and ignorance
