And Then There Was None
by Ryan Kinney
First they came for my things.
And I did not speak out.
Because I had so very little anyways.
Then they came for my mind.
And I did not speak out.
Because I had no thoughts to give.
Then they came for my heart.
And I did not speak out.
Because it was already broken.
Then they came for my body.
And I did not speak out.
Because it was already worn beyond use.
Then they came for my soul.
And I did not speak out.
Because I was empty inside.
Then they came for me.
And there
Was nothing left
For them to take.
