Welcome.
This site was inspired by the poem First They Came For... written by Pastor Martin Niemöller during WWII. The poem warns against the creeping nature of facism and tyranny and the need to guard against it by defending all whose liberties are violated.
The poems on this site are based on the same structure and spirit as the original but are generally more specific in their subject matter. Most are straight-forward and serious, a few may be funny, and some have a little twist to them. All are warnings.
