Als sie mich holten
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 07:18 AM by nosferaustin
with apologies to Mr. Niemöller

When they came for the combatants,
I remained silent;
I was not a combatant.

When they locked up the immigrants,
I remained silent;
I was not a immigrant.

When they came for the muslims,
I did not speak out;
I was not a muslim.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

my euphoria from last Tuesday is wearing thin...game on.
