A poem by the German theologian Martin Niemoller (1892-1984) in relation to the Nazis arresting and terminating people during the Second World War.
“First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a communist.”
“Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a trade unionist.”
“Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a Jew.”
“Then they came for me- and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Please speak against any injustice no matter the location, no matter who is perpetuating it.
