Spoken word poetry raising awareness about the ongoing war in eastern R.D. Congo over conflict minerals that fuel the international technology industry, fulfilling the demand for mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras and much more. Over 6 million people have been killed, and not enough has been done to raise awareness to bring this to an end.

Here is how you can help.
Campaign with organisations fight against this injustice:

http://www.friendsofthecongo.org/

http://www.enoughproject.org/

You can also write to your mobile phone company, and write to your local parliamentary figure on this issue.

To find out more on the situation I recommend the film: Congo In Crisis, Uncovering the Truth.

Thank you.

  • Thank you to all of you who took the time to watch the video and for all the positive feedback. This is a serious issue that needs to be brought to light, particularly now as we are reaching the time of year when more and more technological products will be purchased as presents to celebrate the festive season.

    Let's all move to bring this issue to the forefront. Much love for all of you.

  • Truly amazing video. Very powerful. The New World Order would hate if this video went viral.

  • Poetry that flows to me that lets my heart impose to speak....this poem.....was soulfully written.

  • We are Anonymous. We hear your desperate cry for help. We know that people are enslaved and dying to get us our i-phones and other crap we don't really need. We are fighting this corrupt system as we speak. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us!

  • Great words men!

    Thanks for share ;-)

  • "she has no option but to search for the light within herself" -- DEEP.

  • Thanks for sharing, this is an extraordinary poem! Peace & Love!

  • There is great power in this!

  • Liked it, Sub'd it, Shared it at FB, Add'd it to a new Playlist at YOUtube. com/VERBALMILITIA / Revolution Poems. Our Words are the most powerful things we own, we must use them now more than ever to make our voices be heard.

    Any government only represents the apathy

    or the courage of it's own citizens.

    Our Words are Weapons,

    Our Ammo, the Truth.

  • "...Her spirit is her wealth..." - Words of truth, love it... over 6 million in congo and yet americans still dwell on the events of 9/11 with the 10 year anniversary and etc, ridiculous... Its not about 'countries' or specific 'races', or how 'successful' you are, its about 'people' in general... the only country i believe in in this world is 'earth'

  • the poetry was beautiful, and the images brought to life the poetry : )
