Adapted from the poem by Martin Niemoller “Firts They Came for the Jews” in response to the poem “Danger of silence.”
First they came for the Negros
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Negro
Then they came for the Muslims
and I did not speak out
because I was not a homosexual
Then they came for the transgenders
and I did not speak out
because I was not a transgender
Now when will they come for me
because I was too busy or too apathetic
to defend my sisters and brothers?
