With audacity and prophetic insight, the poet delivers a poignant exploration of Cameroon through a long, didactic poem. Emphasizing clarity and purpose, the work transcends mere aesthetics, blending passion, sarcasm, and sharp irony. It challenges societal norms and addresses deep-rooted issues, echoing Salman Rushdie's belief in the poet's duty to confront the unspoken. Music becomes a call to introspection, while the traditional comforts of alcohol are reexamined. This bittersweet reflection captures the struggle of a native son grappling with a tumultuous homeland.
