MARTIN NIEMÖLLER…..
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communists
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialists
Then they came for the trade unions
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
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY…….for now!
