A Partial Remedy for the Plight of the Boat People: Protection & (and) Indemnity Insurance

handle is hein.journals/colhr18 and id is 295 raw text is: A Partial Remedy for the Plight of the Boat People: Protection & Indemnity Insurance by Michael Aldrich* Lost in the tempests Out on the open seas Our small boats drift. We seek for land During endless days and endless nights We are the foam Floating on the vast ocean. We are the dust Wandering in endless space Our cries are lost In the howling wind. Without food, without water Our children lie exhausted Until they cry no more. We thirst for land But are turned back from every shore. Our distress signals rise and rise again But the passing ships do not stop. How many boats have perished? How many families lie beneath the waves? Lord Jesus, do you hear the prayer of our flesh? Lord Buddha, do you hear our voice From the abyss of death? O Solid Shore, We long for you! We pray mankind to be present today!
