First they came for the dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, and I did not speak out—because I was not a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt.

Then they came for the blue gas giant, and I did not speak out—because I was not a blue gas giant.

Then they came for the rest of the obscure planets we learned about in elementary school in the 80s, and I did not speak out—because I was not an obscure planet we learned about in elementary school in the 80s

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
