When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out

People of Pakistan have become Martin Niemoller.  For those who know why I call them so, read the excerpt of a protestant pastor.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

I don’t know what more I can say for us.
