First They Came For The African-Americans

“First They Came for the African-Americans”
by Daniel Xie

First they came for the African-Americans
and I did not speak out
because I am not African-American

Then they came for the Homeless
and I did not speak out
because I was not Homeless

Then they came for the Indians
and I did not speak out
because I am not Indian.

Now when will they come for me
because I was too busy or too apathetic
to defend my sisters and brothers?
