Quotes
Experience the lyrical power of Nsah Mala's verse—weaving themes of nature, identity, and social consciousness.
We were promised skies without limits,
but our wings were forged from iron—
beautiful, yes, but too heavy for flight.
The old chains they melted
became the new monuments
where we lay wreaths each Independence Day,
celebrating captivity with borrowed champagne
Literature is a powerful tool for environmental activism and social change."
where we toyed with reindeers,
but our leaders have smeared the forests
with sterility and intoxicated us with beers.
I was born in productive plains
where webcams are dreaded like terrorists,
but our leaders take delight in buying planes
and take those levelling fields for anarchists.
