It`s a repost because I think everyone needs to ask this

Seriously I have reposted this because of the different replies I have had
I am trying to get people thinking/talking about the issues. I was very surprised at some of the reponses that had thier own take on it. So I hope to get more people and thier take on it
I truly believe this is beautiful and a warning about the dangers

Am I the only one that see`s the relevance and the meaning that transcends time ,religion and cultures?

FIRST THEY CAME

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

I think this is very important to remember, and yes, I see far too many similarities between then and now.

@scotsbiguy: Exactly. Evil is allowed to exist when good men remain silent... Our complacency allows the hate and violence to continue.
