Hindu.com reports on the new UN anthem for the fight against poverty:
Poverty has no caste or gender, but it now has a voice in the form of music virtuoso A R Rahman, whose English single “Pray For Me Brother” will be the UN’s anthem for its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) campaign.
The MDGs comprise a set of eight promises by world governments to end poverty, hunger and disease by 2015.
After rocking India with his “Vande Mataram”, Rahman’s first English song, released by Universal Music, is his call to wipe poverty off the face of the earth.
The power of music and art can help raise awareness and concern. The UN can’t end poverty and hunger on its own. Hopefully powerful songs such as Rahman’s will inspire more people to get involved.
What do you think?
I think that the U.N. creates hunger and keeps third-world countries in poverty as means of controlling global money and food supplies; not to mention keeping themselves in power by making it seem as if they are fighting hunger. But how can you fight what you work daily to create? How dare someone so intimately informed, such as yourself, suggest that the U.N. can do anything at all to curb poverty and hunger. They have created poverty and hunger so that they can continue controlling those populations. Let us not be coy on this subject.
