Shane Koyczan is pretty awesome.

Not really a favorite poem but feels much too relevant to the situation in Sweden and in plenty of Europe right now:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.
-Martin Niemöller

KOK:
Den der vil forbedre verden, kan med held
starte i dens centrum og begynde med sig selv

Yes, it rhymes.  The final letter in each line is not heard. Not actually silent, they both make the e short, but they do not make a d- or v-sound.

Translation:

Who wants to improve the world can with success
starts at its center and begin with her-/himself
