If German Theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer/Martin Niemöller Had been at Zucotti Park for Occupy Wall Street
When Mayor Bloomberg's police came for the moldy, torn, used books,
I was silent,
For I was not a moldy, torn, used book.
When they came for the filthy, used, fast-food containers,
I was silent,
For I was not a filthy, used, fast-food container.
When they came for the smelly, old boots,
I was silent,
For I was not a smelly, old boot.
When they came for the abandoned tarpaulins,
I was silent,
For I was not an abandoned tarpaulin.
When they came for the leftover leaflets,
I was silent,
For I was not a leftover leaflet.
When they came for me,
There was no more garbage left
That could protest.
