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
