First They Came For The Africans
First they came for the Ethiopians,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Ethiopian.
Then they came for the Sudanese,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t Sudanese.
Then they came for the Congolese,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Congolese.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
