Asifa Apathy-Not a Good Thing







With apologies to Martin Neimoller

First the Timeneh traifeneh internet fahrfihred
  the nerdy tech wonks, and I did not speak out -
 because I was not a nerdy tech wonk;
Then the Timeneh traifeneh internet fahrfihred
the modern Young Israel types, turning them into Orthoprax,
and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Young Israel type;
Then the Timeneh traifeneh internet fahrfihred
the already at-risk kids, and I did not speak out -
because I was not at risk (or so I arrogantly thought);
Then the Timeneh traifeneh internet fahrfihred
the Tuna-Baigels , and I did not speak out -
because I was not a Tuna Baigel;
Then the Timeneh traifeneh internet fahrfihred  
frum businessman who couldn't compete without it,
 and i did not speak out-
because I was not a businessman;
Then the Timeneh traifeneh internet fahrfihred 
 BY girls who had to go online for Raizel Wright,
and I did not speak out
because I was not a post-Sem BY girl;
Then the Timeneh traifeneh internet fahrfihred 
 every litle kid with a PSP who chanced across a WiFi hot spot
and I did not speak out
because my kids were all grown up;
Then the Timeneh traifeneh internet fahrfihred me -
 and no one even noticed,
they were all too busy tweeting, friending, shopping
commenting and blogging-
there was no one left to speak out for me.

Yeah, you may be taking this a wee bit too seriously.

Forget the parodies, let's hear your own thoughts on the Asifa.

I'm guessing Bray is listening to the gedolim and not using the Internet anymore for non-business purposes.

this was nut a parody. i meant it straight up.

I should listen to the gedolim but am a weak fly too ensnared in the spider-world-wide-web to bust free
