Tag Archives: before I die

Outside the lines…

People have now scribbled outside the lines of the  “Before I Die“  board and a poster has appeared -  First they Came for the Immigrants   –     “First they came for“   is the beginning of a quotation attributed to pastor Martin Niemoller   – though there is some argument as to when it was said (and if at all according to this site) ,   the quote/poem is often used now in relation to  human rights, constitutional rights,  individual rights and the danger of political apathy.
