http://www.telisphere.com/~cearley/sean/camps/first.html Pastor Pastor Martin Niemöller was a German Protestant who was incarcerated during 2nd world war along with Jews, communists, etc. He wrote a poem after his release: First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then 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 me and there was no one left to speak out for me. Pastor Martin Niemöller Maoists! First they came for the policemen and I did not speak out because I was not a policeman. Then they came for the soldiers and I did not speak out because I was not a soldier. Then they came for the rich and I did not speak out because I was not rich. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
