Answer 2

Here's an older poem to show that "nothing's changed":

London
From Songs of Experience
by William Blake (1757–1827)

I wander through each chartered street,
Near where the chartered Thames does flow,
A mark in every face I meet,
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every man,
In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear:

How the chimney-sweeper's cry
Every blackening church appals,
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace-walls.

But most, through midnight streets I hear
How the youthful harlot's curse
Blasts the new-born infant's tear,
And blights with plagues the marriage hearse.

This poem was written in England. It doesn't mention themes common in modern US: discrimination, racism, drive-by shootings, guns, drugs. But the tone is just as bleak. Misery, soldiers blighted by foreign wars, child labor, "white" slavery (chimney sweeps, child prostitutes bearing children). The "weakness" cited in line 4 undoubtedly did include alcoholism and addiction.
Superficial "things" have changed, but humanity remains capable of the same evil.
Blake, in fact, does not seem to expect the world to get better. He doesn't shrink from evil, but looks at it clearly. He is grieved by the world's misery, but has faith in God's goodness and ability to sustain us on earth and make things right in heaven. (This isn't mentioned in "London," but if you read his other poems you will see it.)
In "Nothing's Changed," the implication seems to be disappointment that the world hasn't gotten better. People have worked so hard to rid the world of injustice, but it is still there. The human mind has an unlimited capacity for both slavery and freedom.
Both points of view have validity. People do work to remedy injustices, and this work is valuable. But anybody who thinks evil will be eliminated from the world, is going to be disappointed.
