And I did not speak out

Because I was not a transgender juvenile athlete (and there are probably only 100 in the whole country)

Then they came for the unofficial migrants (the paperwork is a civil federal matter)

And I did not speak out

Because I was not an unofficial migrant

Then they came for the unhoused Americans

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a currently unhoused American, a person camping on BLM land, or a person camping in their back yard for more than 7 days per year where it is now illegal

-

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me
