Speak

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.
