"The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty."- Martin Luther King, Jr.Soobax K'Naan (Somalia/Canada)This scathing rap against the politicans and warlords comes from K'Naan, a native son who narrowly escaped his country with his life. He caught Youssou N'Dour's attention when he performed for the United Nations, stopped the band, and took te present officals personally to task for a botched job - in rap form! This video was filmed in Kenya, as K'Naan's hometown Mogadishu, was simply too dangerous. POWERFUL WORDS! ABOUT DARFUR
