There Will Be No Lords - Seven Variations Of The Same Theme - Seven Poems by M.N. Hopkins

Version # 1

There will be no lords

Not in this Land which we have built

Don´t betray our past

Version # 2

There will be no lords

Not in this Land which we have built

We have been betrayed

Version # 3

There will be no lords

Not in this Land which we have built

Cowards betrayed us

Version # 4

There will be no lords

Not in this Land which we have built

An end to honor

Version # 5

There will be no lords

Not in this Land which we have built

Don´t give up the dream

Version # 6

There will be no lords

Not in this Land which we have built

Time to take it back

Version # 7

There will be no lords

Not in this Land which we have built

Grieve not ancestors

Note: I wrote these seven poems yesterday in the haiku style of poetry and published them for the first time today, the 20th of March 2026. Inspired while watching a historical film on the time of colonial America. If one changes one or more words or a whole sentence then 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?
