GUEST,Gerry happy? – Jan 29 (Los Gatos crash) (12) RE: happy? – Jan 29 (Los Gatos crash) 01 Feb 06


I added a bit a few years back when Australia was shipping the survivors
of failed immigration attempts off to various South Pacific locations for processing.

The boat broke apart in the Indian Ocean
A torrent of water that drenched all our shores
Who are these friends all scattered like seaweed?
The six o'clock news says that they jumped the queue.

Goodbye to Mohamed, farewell to Fatima
Salaam aleikim, Abdul and Rakia
You won't have a name when we ship you to Nauru
All they will say is that you jumped the queue

Is this the best way to defend our borders?
Is this the best way to keep ourselves free?
To drown in the ocean, be scattered like seaweed
To be known as queue-jumpers, and not refugees
