Who is next in your parade?
What human will you place upon display?
Why stop with these, the least of us;
Why not go to the ones who scream?
Who is next, in your parade?
What human will you place upon display?
When will you stop, or do you keep going;
Let them know, without them knowing?
Who is next in your parade?
What human will you place upon display?
How does one comprehend
The consequences of current actions?

Martin Niemöller:
"First 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 for me."

It began and has never stopped.
Hatred that burns, that flies.
The only option:
To take away rights,
To take away personhood,
To deny those who are different
Love, respect, shelter.
Listen.
Quietly.
Do not allow this cycle to continue.
It is here, it is loud.
One day you'll be different:
The one on display,
And one day: nobody will speak out for you.
