FIRST they came for the old and frail
But I did not speak out
Because I was healthy.
Then they came for shopkeepers and publicans
But I did not speak out
Because I used Amazon.
Then they came for the churches
But I did not speak out
Because they capitulated.
Then they came for the healthy
But I did not speak out
Because it was ‘safe and effective’.
Then they came for the children
But I did not speak out
Because they were spreaders.
Then they came for the unvaccinated
But I did not speak out
Because they were dangerous.
Then they came for my home, my car, my savings
And there was no one left to speak for me.
