The Broken Arm and the Burying Ground: A Cry Against Collapse
Written in vigorous Pidgin English and Cameroon street vernacular, this poem is a raw indictment of political failure, state violence, and the everyday sufferings of ordinary people. The speaker moves from personal grief to systemic brutality—extrajudicial killings, electoral theft, the silencing of dissent—painting a portrait of a state that has abandoned its citizens.
