First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.
I saw a protest sign recently that said “First they came for the Socialists, and that’s why I’m out here in the street because I know the rest of the poem”
They will send you away, and then there’s nobody else to stop them.
So what goal do you want to achieve?
