[September 5, 2014]
First they came for Jihad terrorists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a terrorist
Then they came for any Muslim
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Muslim
Then they came for the occupiers
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an occupier
Then they came for all my communications
And I did not speak out
Because I had nothing to hide
Then they came for Japanese war aid
And I did not speak out
Because I had nothing to say
Then they came for German war aid
And I did not speak out
Because I was out shopping
(Inspired by Pastor Martin Niemoller, Edward Snowden, and http://www.worldwide-reading.com/archiv-en/08-09-2014-worldwide-reading-for-edward-snowden.)
