First They Came For…

Adapted from the poem by Martin Nienoller “First They Came for the Jews” in response to the poem “Danger of Silence”.

I decided to give my take on the poem a voice to victims of rape and/or domestic abuse.

First they came for those under the influence

and i did not speak out

because that wasn’t me

Then they came for girls who wear less clothes

and i did not speak out

because that wasnt me

Then they came for children who never met innocents

and i did not speak out

because that wasn’t me

Now when will they come for me

because i was too busy or too apathetic

to defend my sisters and brothers
