Martin Niemoller's poem adapted to present day Bangladesh -
THEY CAME FIRST for the
Army officers,
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't in the army
THEN THEY CAME for the
Newspaper editors,
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a journalist
THEN THEY CAME for the
Nationalists and religious leaders
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a party member or religious
THEN THEY CAME for the
Writers and intellectuals,
And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a writer or an intellectual
THEN THEY CAME FOR ME
And by that time no one was left to speak up
