Our History Is Now

Lessons of the past are there for us to apply to what's happening now.

First they came for the illegals,

but I'm not an illegal, so I didn't speak up for them.

Then they came for the law firms and the media companies,

but I'm not a lawyer or a journalist, so I didn't speak up for them.

Then they came for the universities,

but I'm not a student or a professor or a researcher so I didn't speak up for them.

Then they came for the mayors and the governors,

but I'm not a politician so I didn't speak up for them.

When they finally turn and come for you and me - and they will because they always do -

who will be left to speak up for us?
