their rights your rights

First they came for the Jews
and i did not speak out -
because i was not a Jew.
then they came for a communists
and i did not speak out -
because i was not a communist.
then they came for the trade unionists
and i did not speak out -
because i was not a trade unionist.
then they came for me -
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

human rights.
universal.
indivisible.
inalienable.
