And I Spoke Out

Poem by Craig Dershowitz

First, they came for the Black community.
And I spoke out,
Because I am a Jew.

Then, they came for the LGTBQ community.
And I spoke out,
Because I am a Jew.

Then, they came for Women’s Rights.
And I spoke out,
Because I am a Jew.

Then, they came for Trans people, the AAPI community, Muslims and immigrants.
And I spoke out,
Because I am a Jew.

Now, they are coming for the Jewish people.
Why does it feel like no one is speaking out for me?
And why are so many of you with them?
