Things Have Changed

Alarming events have gone by That show the world through different eyes In the past, atrocities People hurt, ignored pleas And now we can understand the harm And not repeat these great alarms Because things have changed Not every society Is targeted viciously For believing, looking differently As they used to Because things have changed For even I, who am a fuse Of cultures that used to abuse Each other in the far away past Am treated with respect and care Because things have changed But things are not what they should be Because we still have hate in our hearts For people from all different parts Of this changing world Because not every society is still targeted But some still are Our wrong world needs to right itself For its future generations Because things have changed But they are still not how they should be.
