Lot

Varför hatade Sodoms invånare Lot? Det enda han gjorde var att inte synda lika grovt som de andra. Du behöver inte öppna munnen för att anses provocera. Det räcker med din blotta existens.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
