"I Sit and Look Out"
Walt Whitman
I Sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame;
I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done;
I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying, neglected, gaunt, desperate;
I see the wife misused by her husbandâI see the treacherous seducer of young women;
I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be hidâI see these sights on the earth;
I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyrannyâI see martyrs and prisoners;
I observe a famine at seaâI observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill'd, to preserve the lives of the rest;
I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like;
All theseâAll the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon,
See, hear, and am silent.
"First they came for..."
Martin Niemöller
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-â
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak outâ
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outâ
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for meâand there was no one left to speak for me.
