First they came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Their voices rose to a frantic pitch soon after midnight and they are singing still, well after 10:00 am. I can only attempt to explain this by the slight chill in the air. Winter approaches, breeding season for both the birds and all the young Karachiites prepping for another long wedding season...
