Mobile phones built on exploitation

The people of the Congo

Are used as slave labour,

To mine copper and cobalt

To keep corporations rich,

They never benefit from what they mine

They work for less than nothing,

$2.15 dollars is what keeps them fed,

But the toxins from the metals

Of which they will see them dead,

And pregnant women give birth

To babies with various defects,

And all this toil and hard work

Fuels the phones that we all desire,

And with continuing demands

The exploitation and deaths grow higher,

But the governments and media

Won’t show the truth because they are all such liars.

    This world is devil’s paradise; elites rule over us and inequality of standard of living is unfair comparing countries. The phones that the corporations have made us addicted to, are ruining our mental health, and physical health so the elites are destroying us all in the end. I think the rulers are literally demon possessed, if not actual demons.
