adapted from the poem by  Martin Neilmoller “First They Came for the Jews” in response to the poem “danger of silence”

First they came for the immigrants

and I did not speak out

because I was not an immigrant

Then they came for the special needs

and I did not speak out 

because I was not special needs

Then they came for the different races 

and I did not speak out 

because I was not a different race 

Now when will they come for me 

because i was to busy or too apathetic

to defend my sisters and brothers?
