"First They Came"

by Martin Niemöller

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist...

Then 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 out for me...
