Every seed, every step, every breath is resistance.

We don’t escape the system—we outgrow it.

A stones throw from the Gold Coast

We just call it Da Land

I LIVE WITH THE LAND.

We are kin.

She is my ancestor.

My relative.

My teacher.

sunlight echoes.

Generations gather,

red bricks hold their echoes.

Footsteps linger,

red courtyards frame frescoes.

Time circles back,

red bricks repeat its echoes.

Generations gather, red bricks hold their echoes.

Footsteps linger, red courtyards frame fresco.

Time circles back, red bricks repeat its echo.

The American veneer conceals more than it reveals - a nation strained by debt, fractured by inequality, and corroded by corruption. This veneer is not merely a surface; it is an illusion carefully polished and projected, an image of prosperity and moral authority meant to reassure its citizens and impress the world. Yet beneath the gloss lies a structural fragility, where wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few while the many struggle under the weight of economic precarity and social abandonment.

Debt, both public and private, has become the silent scaffolding holding up the illusion of prosperity. Inequality deepens not by accident but by design, written into the contracts of labor, housing, and health. Corruption, meanwhile, is not an aberration but a normalized feature of governance and business, a quiet exchange between power and privilege that undermines trust and erodes collective possibility.
