Progress?

It's a funny thing
That colour of skin
Didn't become a definition
Until the 16th/17th century
And that a few thousand years ago
Neither did gender
And here we are
In a so called advanced society
That separates
And divides us all
Into little boxes
Cliched
I witnessed, and also received abuse
But glad i was neither
Black, brown, ginger,overweight
And especially not female
As i knew that the abuse i endured
Would of been worse
Although having my head kicked
Punched, beaten with snooker balls within a sock
Was hardly lightweight
So
If i ask the question
Has society progressed?
And humanity become humane
No!!!!
Has it fuck
As it just falls further
Into the abyss
