Brown Friday

Before they wore gray with SS pendants on their collars, NAZI's wore brown.

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

German Lutheran Pastor Martin Neimoller - circa 1946
