Boat People from ICS 2015.11.29 by Amy Denio / Spoot Music
Inspired by the celebration of Thanksgiving in America (actually called Day of Mourning by indigenous people). Created in homage to the millions of displaced people from Syria (etc.) and the crazy course of history.
According to news sources, 'boat people' who escaped from Vietnam and now settled in North America are mobilizing to aid the new 'boat people' from the Middle East. Photo: Refugees from Nigeria, Mali and The Gambia surviving in the Italian Alps.

Lyrics
Boat people from Vietnam
know the unknown, settled the unsettled
Boat people from Vietnam
Found their land legs after living through living hell
Boat people had hope people
would never repeat their feat, that history would delete
the strife the knife the dimming of life
The sunken boats the drowning
the cold shoulder of superpower frowning
simply super!
Boat people from Vietnam
are mobilizing again
they hope to help their desperate floating brethren
