Modified German pastor Martin Niemoller quote

Modified German pastor Martin Niemoller quote
 


First they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.

--- German pastor Martin Niemoller

I suggest this should be rewritten something like this:

First they came for the blacks,
And I didn't speak out because I was not black.

Then they came out for the unborn,
And I didn't speak out because I was already born.

Then they came for the preachers speaking about politics,
And I didn't speak out because I was not a preacher.

Then they came for the Christians,
And I didn't speak out because we have freedom of religion.

Then they came for gun owners,
And there was no none left to speak for me.
