First They Came For…

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

First they came for the outcasts,

and I did not speak out

because I was not a outcast.

then they came for the special needs,

and I did not speak out

because I was  not a special need.

Then they came for the boys,

and I did not speak out

because I was not a boy.

Now when will they come for me

because I was too busy or too apathetic

to defend my sisters and brothers?
