They came for civil servants, health care and public safety workers, but I was not among those, so I said nothing.
They came for public assistance, but I was not poor, so I said nothing.
They came for workers' compensation, but I was self-employed, so I said nothing.
They came for early childhood education, but my children were grown, so I said nothing.
They came for women, but I was not a woman, so I said nothing.
They came for Medicare and Social Security, and because I am old I spoke up.
They came for me, and no one dared speak.
