First they put away the dealers, keep our kids safe and off the street. Then they put away the prostitutes, keep the married men cloistered at home. Then they shooed away the bums, then they beat and bashed the queers. Turned away the asylum-seekers, fed us with suspicions and fears. We didn't raise our voice, we didn't make a fuss. It's funny there was no one left to notice when they came for us.
