Last Stand
Yes, I get it it sounds melodramatic.
I have been told, even here, that we cannot have general strikes or that people can only protest a couple hours on a Saturday, every couple of months. That people have jobs and families. Interesting because more and more people are losing their jobs and their family members as you read this. We are being squeezed out of existence.
I'll say one last thing and then post a poem that despite being quoted almost every day by someone, far too many still don't understand or hear the words.
We are in serious trouble and unless we, not DU specifically but our society as a whole, start addressing this with the seriousness it demands we are truly lost. All of us. No matter how hard that minority of people fight.
If we do not stand together, we will surely hang separately. Mr. Franklin didn't realize how right it was.
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
