750 immigrants left a Libyan port city on June 8. As the Mediterranean became a stage for tragedy on June 14, a billionaire and several businessmen were preparing their adventure in the North Atlantic. The disappearance of the Titanic fans made global headlines for days. Expenses and effort for the search and rescue mission were not an issue.
But when the ship packed with refugees and migrants sank in June, it didn’t make global headlines! Only 104 from 750 survivors have reached the Greek mainland. 82 bodies have been recovered, and the rest are missing, probably swallowed by the sea.
Is it too much to ask, to treat every single human being with the same dignity regardless of nationality, skin colour, and amount of money in the bank account?
BTW: These are the number of humans who have lost their lives - in search and hope for a happy life in dignity - on the sea in recent years according to UNHCR!
Stay tuned for my brand-new song TASTELESS BREAKFAST, Lily Amis feat. Thir13een. A song dedicated to all the innocent humans who have lost their lives on the sea.
Like my track “80 Million People!” the song was recorded and submitted for release just a few days before this heartbreaking event happened again!
Stay tuned for my brand new song
TASTELESS BREAKFAST, Lily Amis feat. Thir13een. A soul track dedicated to all
the forgotten and neglected humans!
