…and no one was left to speak

First they came for the Abu Sayyaf;

          and I did not speak out because I was not an Abu.

Then they came for the allegedly ISIS-linked Maute clan;

          and I did not speak out because I was not a Maute.

Then they came for the Communists / Leftists;

         and I did not speak out because I was not a Commie / Lefty.

Then they came for the poor drug users/dealers;

         and I did not speak out because I was not a poor drug user/dealer.

Then they came for the Yellowtards / Dilawan;

         and I did not speak out because I was not a Yellowtard / Dilawan.

Then they came for me;

        and there was no one left to speak for me.
