First They Came!

When Obama came for the banks,
I remained silent,
I was not a banker.

Then He came for the Auto Manufacturers,
I remained silent,
I did not manufacture automobiles.

Then He came for the transportation industry,
I did not protest,
I did not fly a plane or run a train or drive a truck.

Then He came for the food distributors,
I did not speak out,
I dealt not with food.

Then He came for the blue collar worker, (me)
There was no one left to speak out for me.
