Publisher's Synopsis
Land of the Oppressed is a social science fiction story about a dystopian government and the people's revolt against it. The collection of poems explores topics such as government oppression, media corruption, the dangers of materialism, the exploitation of workers, and humanity's dependance on technology. The purpose of the work is to humorously entertain while engaging the reader to question corrupt political systems. The piece is critical of the media and totalitarianism. It attempts to illustrate how such entities control and manipulate the motivations of the people. Although Land of the Oppressed is a work of fiction, the ideas expressed to some extent resemble how things are today. The story consists of ten independent poems. Each poem is eight stanzas long, those of which contain four lines in rhyme and written in perfect iambic pentameter.
