Apocalyptic - Seven Variations Of The Same Theme - Seven Poems by M.N. Hopkins


Version # 1

Apocalyptic

Stories meant to distract us

Take the golden path

©  2019   M.N. Hopkins

Version # 2

Apocalyptic

Bed time stories that frighten

Told by those of fear

©  2019   M.N. Hopkins

Version # 3

Apocalyptic

A detour away from Self

Lost in a gray zone

©  2019   M.N. Hopkins

Version # 4

Apocalyptic

A detour from Divine will

De-evolution

©  2019   M.N. Hopkins

Version # 5

Apocalyptic

Stories told by fearful ones

Weak leading the blind

©  2019   M.N. Hopkins

Version # 6

Apocalyptic

A mis-informed group of folks

Survivors see Light

©  2019   M.N. Hopkins

Version # 7

Apocalyptic

For those who follow ego

No saviors coming

©  2019   M.N. Hopkins

Note:   I wrote these seven poems last week after being inspired after watching three apocalyptic short films in seven variations of the same theme.  If one changes one or more words it can change the meaning yet stay within the same theme.  The reader can decide which poem resonates the most with them and tell me in the comment section below which number it was.   If you would be so kind?

I have written all seven poems in the haiku style of poetry and published them on my blog for the first time today, the 21st of October,  2019.

I like this poem! I would choose the 5th version. But just by choosing that one I could immediately hear Gretas voice in my head "how dare you".... ;)
