The tragedy of Lampedusa Isle shakes the spirits of public opinion: the shipwreck of a Libyan boat, used for the transport of migrants, a few miles from the port of Lampedusa.

Description
Here is the Caron Dimonio, from the eyes of Bragia , ferryman of migrant souls represented as a “western” businessman, who ferries these desperate souls by sea.
These, with the life jackets worn that, as a whole, take the form of a rubber dinghy, they change, they seek salvation from the sea or from their destiny.
Caronte by stress, with a fixed gaze in front of him, solid on his position crushes his “souls” without mercilessly: the remode is decided, firm, unstoppable, in a black sea, agitated.
It is the business system, politics, linked to the trafficking of migrants, without respect for human dignity, their condition, regardless of the reasons for their escapes from their countries.
What interests you is only to take money from them, to use them as hostages for political negotiations, humiliate them and transport them as slaves on the other side of the Mediterranean.
Sometimes towards certain death.
Caronte is there for this.
