First they came for the refugees, but I did not speak out - as I was not a refugee.
Then the came for people of colour, but I did not speak out, as I was not a person of colour
Then they came for the disabled, but I did not speak out, as I was not disabled
Then they came for the Trans community, but I did not speak out - as I was not Trans
Then they came for the rest of the LGBTQ+ community, but I did not speak out - as I was not LGBTQ+
Then they came for the socialists, but I did not speak out - as I was not a socialist
Then they came for the trade unionist, but I did not speak out - as I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.
This is a warning, take heed.
Adapted from the original poem by Martin Niemoller in 1946 following the horrors of WW2.
