I Didn't Speak Out

   

   First they came for the animals,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't an animal.

    Then they came for the blacks,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't black.

    Then they came for the Jews,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for the gays,
    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't gay.

    Then they came for me
    and there was no one left to speak out for me.
