A current trepidation

Dear editor:

A current trepidation:

First they came after the others and I said nothing, because I am not of the others.

Then they came after the Mestizos, to wall them out, and I said nothing, because I am not of the Mestizos.

Now they come after all Latinos, separating parent from child, and I say nothing because I am not of the Latinos.

When they come after you and me, who will speak for us?

In memory of Martin Niemoller. John S. Polk Hot Springs
