I remained silent;
I was not a conservative.
When they locked up the pro-lifers,
I remained silent;
I was not a pro-lifer.
When they came for the right-to-workers,
I did not speak out;
I was not a right-to-work adherent.
When they came for the Catholics and Jews,
I remained silent;
I was neither.
When they forced Islam upon the rest of us,
I said nothing,
For I had no particular religious beliefs.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
