First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the sick,
the so-called incurables,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't mentally ill.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for me,
and by that time
there was no one left
to speak up for me
