When they came for my enemies, I did nothing because they were my enemies...
When they came for the strangers, I did nothing because they were strangers...
When they came for my friends, I became scared for who was next...
When they came for my family, I became alone...
And when they came for me, there was no one left to try to help me...
And now they are all my enemies...

If you expect help from others, you need to help them.
