Malafricanising Democracy

The lyrical pessimism of Nsah Mala’s poetry presents a world characterized by violence, inhumanity and destruction, a world that is sadly too familiar. While many of the poems address contemporary issues in the poet’s native Cameroon, much of the human-inflicted damage they describe is not limited to ‚Cam-Kingdom‘. Although much of the content is negative, many of the poems contain questions. These questions express the cynical voice of this politically committed poet, but behind them lies the distant possibility of a better version of the world in which values of love, peace and unity reign: ‚Don’t we know, ‚ the poet asks,  ’that violence is out of fashion?‘
