Adapted from the poem by Martin Niemöller “First They Came for the Jews” in response to the poem “Danger of Silence”
First they came for the First Nations
and I did not speak out
because I was not a First nations.
Then they came for the immigrants
and I did not speak out
because I was not an immigrant.
Then they came for the minorities
and I did not speak out
because I was not a minority
Now when will they come for me
because I was too busy or too apathetic
to defend my sisters and brothers?
