First They Came For The Cows

First they came for the cows, and I did not speak out,
because I was not a cow.

Then they came for the chickens, and I did not speak out,
because I was not a chicken.

Then they came for the dogs, and I did not speak out,
because I was not a dog.

They never came for me.
