Manifesto in Verse: Life in a Materialistic Society is a collection of poems that investigates the depths of existence within a materialistic framework. The book is divided into 3 parts, inspired by the stages of mourning “to hope”.
Materialism and Its Sorrows serves as a raw expression of discontent with the status quo, channelling emotions of sadness, anger and a sense of powerlessness. These verses articulate the frustrations of living in a world orientated by material goals.
Voices of anger encapsulates a collective yearning for change, reflecting the desire to reshape our reality and find fulfilment beyond mere possessions.
Acceptance embodies a deep recognition of the limitations of our influence on the wider social structure. It urges us to redirect our focus inwards, embracing the power we hold over our own lives and the pursuit of meaningful purpose. Through verse, this collection invites readers to confront the complexities of life in a capitalist society, urging introspection and a reassessment of personal values and aspirations.
