I'm surprised about that ! I'm very sure that the poem would refer to a time when people like you, me and everyone else listened to the news ... and acted accordingly. (Don't get me wrong, this particular story is horrible) ... however, let me update the work ....
"THEY CAME FIRST for the Paeophiles,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Paedophile.
THEN THEY CAME for the Muslims,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Muslim.
THEN THEY CAME for the Corrupt Politicians,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Corrupt Politician.
THEN THEY CAME for the Terrorists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn't a Terrorist.
THEN THEY CAME for me
and by that time no one was left to speak up."
There are regular people on this thread expressing that they would have no problem taking another human life !
Yet, that appears to have passed without comment.
Unbelievable.
