History Repeating

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.

History repeats. The question is, how long are we going to sit by while fascism again creeps into our lives? How many rights will we be willing to sacrifice before we decide enough is enough?
