200. Welcome to the Congo (the M23 rebel remix poem)
Manage episode 406443766 series 1097457
22 years ago, I wrote a poem entitled “Welcome to the Congo.” It’s on my album “Signs of the Time.” I wrote it while in Congo working in refugee camps due to the war in Congo at the time. 22 years later, I am performing this poem once again and have only removed the names of certain people no relevant to the current crisis in Congo. My point is to show you that little has changed or to show you that we’re going backwards from the progress we did make. Please note that your electronics devices fuel this conflict which means we should all feel a duty to speak up. Do you have room in your heart for the heart of Africa? If so, be an #upstander and not a bystander because your inaction is action! Your silence is compliance! #congo #m23 #drc
