First They Came for the Ukrainians

First they came for the Ukrainians 

and I did not speak out

because I am not Ukrainian 

 

Then they came for African-Canadians 

and I did not speak out 

because I was not African-Canadian 

 

Then they came for the people with Special Needs

and I did not speak out

because I did not have Special Needs

 

Now when will they come for me 

because I was too busy or too apathetic 

to defend my sisters and brothers?
