First They Came For…

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

First they came for…. (rewrite your poem)

First they came for  Asians
But I didn’t speak out
Because I was not a Asian.

First they came for  Muslims
But I didn’t speak out
Because I was not a Muslim

First they came for  refuges
But I didn’t speak out
Because I was not a refuge.

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