Then They Came for Us

Описание: Original TikTok Release 1/14/26
Based on the Original version, 'First They Came' by Pastor Martin Niemöller, 1946.

My Version:
First they came for the Natives
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Native to America
Then they came for the African Americans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an African American
Then they came for the Women
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Woman
Then they came for the Gay People
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Gay
Then they came for the Mexican Americans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Mexican American
Then they came for the Transgender Americans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Transgender
Then they came after the Historically Aware Americans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Historically Aware of what was going on
Then they came after the Americans who were Pro-America, but against the President
And I did not speak out
Because I was Pro-America, but in the way that saw the future in the past, and was not for the President
Then they came after us, the poor and working class Americans
And I could not speak out
Because there was no one left to speak for me,
And I could not afford to take a day off to speak for myself

So give them hell sisters, brothers, and everyone in-between. We're all neighbors, and we’re in a losing war against ourselves.

I hope your day is as wonderful as you are, my amazing gals, guys, and everybody in-between!
