I Saw It Done And I Did Not Speak Out

D_for_dude · 02-02-2007, 08:14 PM

I saw it done to the helpless Jews
I did not speak out, afterall I am not a Jew
I saw and read about what was done to
the christians in Eastern and Central Europe
I did not speak out, afterall I am not from
there
I saw it done to the poor helpless immigrants
I did not speak out, afterall I am not from
that socio economic class
I saw it done to the lone but loving hard working single dads
I did not speak out after all didn't I read
that those men are useless and don't know
how to treat their women and kids nice
I saw it done to the colored
I did not speak out, after all I don't belong to that ethnic clas
And then when they picked me
There was non left to speak out for me

ummm...interesting, yours reminds me of this......well, i'm sure it's just a coincidence...right?...ok.... carry on....

First They Came for the Jews

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.
