The captain informed the passengers sadly

Get the lifeboats in the water

This ship is gonna sink.


Racial minorities screamed, "they won't be boarded fair."

People's pets in lower hatches can't be left down there.

The religious insisted all should stop and pray.

This ship is gonna sink.


But no lifeboats were lowered.
