First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then 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 out for me

I'm equally fascinated by the idea that the American peoples were there for so many thousand years with such dynamic cultures without a similar built environment. Little physical trace but an immense history

Edit: dammit, this was a week ago. I'm not great at conversation!
