    First They Came by Martin Niemöller - 0

    Cas de Bon
    This poem describes how different groups were targeted one by one during the rise of fascism, and though the speaker was not part of any of these groups, he did not speak out to help them. Eventually, when the authorities came for the speaker, there was no one left to speak for him as he had not defended others who came before.

    FIRST THEY CAME

    By Martin Niemöller
    POEMS
    First they came for the Communists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Communist
    Then they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist
    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 out for me.
