Question

"I Sit and Look Out"

Answer 1

Niemöller should advise the speaker in "I Sit and Look Out" to speak out. The speaker already witnessed horrible things in this world and yet he remained silent in the end. Despite not taking action against those dreadful acts, he still acknowledges the sufferings of the people and this is supported by his words - "I hear", "I see", "I mark", and "I observe". Eventually, they came for him and as expected no one spoke for him (no one defended him)- "Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
