Adapted from the poem by Martin Niemoller “First They Came for the Jews” in response to the poem “Danger of Silence”
First they came for the Muslims
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Muslim
Then they came for the immigrants
and I did not speak out
because I was not an immigrant
Then they came for the Asian actors
and I did not speak out
because I was not an Asian actor
Now when will they come for me
because I was too busy or too apathetic (indifferent)
to defend my sisters and brothers ?
