A Modern Adaptation of "First They Came For..."

First they came for women's rights...

And you did not vote to save them, for you thought other women do it.

Next they came for trans people's rights...

And you did not vote to save them, for you thought they were insignificant.

Then they came for people of color...

And you did not vote to save them, for you thought they deserved it.

Soon, they'll come to take the women...

And you'll deny your lack of action caused it.

Soon, they'll come for your children...

And you'll cry that you didn't expect it.

Soon, they'll come for you...

And no one will be left to stop it.
