A modern pastiche to Pastor Martin Niemoller

First they came for the smokers, and I said nothing because I enjoy Martha’s Vineyard’s clean beach air.

Then they came for the eaters of French Fries and Hamburgers, and I said nothing because I ate healthy, organic whole foods.

Then they came for plastic shopping bag users, and I said nothing because I wear hemp clothing and bring my own bag to the grocery store.

Then they came for those who won’t recycle and I said nothing because I compost my food scraps and yard waste.

Then they came for the Bloggers, and I said nothing because I read the New York Times and watched CNN.

Then they came for the Entrepreneurs, and I said nothing because I worked for the State Department.

Then they came for the Religious (but not the Muslims for that would be intolerant), and I said nothing because I believe in Science.

Then they came for the Republicans, and I said nothing because I vote Democrat.

And then they came for me.

And I went willingly.

Because that is what they told me to do..
