Then they came for you

After monitoring the latest developments of the Kingdom in post-war era, I thought of modifying the famous poem by Martin Niemöller to sum up the situation.


   When those ‘civilians’ were killed in numbers, you didn’t speak up because    your kith and kin were not amongst them.

   Then they came for the journalists, you didn’t speak up because you thought    those journalists were betraying the motherland for chunks of dollars.

   Then they came for the underworld gangsters, you didn’t speak up because    they were already a menace to the society.

   Then they came for opposition politicians, you didn’t speak up because of the    simple arithmetic of (opposition politicians = traitors).

   Then they came for you. But don’t worry. You are a patriot and you have a King    to speak up for you. Long live the King!
