First they came for the usa
and I did not speak out
because I was not a american
Then they came for canada
and I did not speak out
because I was not a canadian
Then they came for the poland
and I did not speak out
because I was not polish
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
adapted from Pastor Martin Niemöller's "First they came…"

Nice
good job
No you can't stop, this exodus!
The US-Russian war was started by the USA attacking the Far Eastern Region of Russia. So the correct poem runs like "First they came for Russia" etc.
No you can't stop, this exodus!
comma is in the, wrong place.
First Indonesia and Iran occupied China, and the US didn't do anything.
THIS IS BAD, BAD POETRY, EVERYONE
READ SOME PESSOA OR LERMONTOV

The eUS started this "snowball" through their isolationist policies, now they want the world to rush to their aid?
It doesn't work that way guys.
I like the poetry, very powerful. As a citizen of eAustralia I keep finding myself wondering "Am I going to be next?" eIndonesia is a scary neighbor to have.
HarkTec... the poetry is plagiarized.
He just switched the words around.
actually make your own poem instead of stealing other people's work.
"HarkTec... the poetry is plagiarized.

I'm well aware he based it off another poem. And it isn't all that uncommon or even unacceptable to adapt a poem to address a new social situation.
Though he should have given credit to the original poem.
Anyway he still did a good job at presenting a powerful point that is very relevent to the current state of eRepublik.
