When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
As of today (Nov. 11, 2010 - Thursday morning, 1:40 a.m.) I have 8 (eight) readers of this blog. But if I publish my next blog, I fear I could lose some readers.
I've never written for children; this is a NOT a PG-13 blog with just enough honesty to be hip & happenin', something kewl, something to slap into your Twitter or Facebook account to link the world through me.
I am not a conduit. I am an electrical storm. I am a blast of thunder and a flash of lightning. I don't write to do anything but purge the demons from my soul, and I read things that make me smile, be they political, emotional, social, sexual, honest or lies upon lies.

So tonight, after 5pm, I should have all my thoughts and ideas ready to present.
Here's where I took this quote, and I hope it keeps me and this blog going further into myself, expressing outward, and going strong.

You're not losing me, that I promise you.
I am so glad you posted this quote. I've been thinking about it in reference to a former work situation. I couldn't remember the words or the source. So, thank you! Don't quit! We all had 8 readers at one point (except those with less than 8 readers at the moment). It just takes time and persistence. xo
It;s 830 pm Texas time. I'm going to be posting the blog I started last night after a little more research into the facts.
Thank you for all the support.
Waits eagerly.
It took a few more hours but it's been posted. Had to cross the i's & dot the t's before I posted it & the slide show.
