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 disabled people,
and I did not speak out,
because I was not disabled
Then they came for gay people
and I didn not speak out
because I was not gay
Then they came for black people,
and I didn not speak out
because I was not black.
Now when willl they come for me
because I was too busy or too apathetic
to defend by sisters and brothers?
