Freedom Fighters: the End of An Era

America fostered a generation of people that cared, Time has passed, and suddenly, They are no longer here, The next generation is dangling on a string, because no one truly cares about anything, They take civil rights for granted, Freedom of speech gets no respect, The young generation abhors conflict, even when the Constitution is in jeopardy, They are still relying on the past efforts of Freedom Fighters to set them free........, One morning minorities will awake and find a fate worst than Haiti's earthquake, They will find their "say" has been taken away, Then they will wonder if the "old timers" took a Holiday, The progress only continues unless the youth stay on task, If not......., History will repeat itself, and Freedoms won't last, The dream will die and minorities will find themselves succumbing because they all need help.
