First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, 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.
(The true author of this poem is often debated.)
Not meant to be political here...it's just that so many posts are troublesome to me. Doesn't anyone remember the Summer of Love? Flower Power? The Road To Woodstock?
