No One Left To Speak Up For Me

No One Left To Speak Up For Me

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time
there was no one left to speak up for me.

~ Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945 ~
