when they came..

When they came for the darkies, I did not say anything because I wasnot a darkie.

When they came for the low castes, I did not say anything for I wasnot a low caste.

When they came for the maimed, I did not said anything for I wasnnot maimed.

When they came for the women, I did not said anything for I wasnot a woman.

When they came for the weak, I did not said anything for I wasnot weak.

And when they came for me, no one said anything for there was no-one left to speak.
