Earlier today, while looking up pictures of a cute actor (Aaron Paul, if you must know! :XD:), I was refreshing my knowledge of American expansionist policies following the 1898 Spanish-American war.

Don't ask me why; I've always been a history buff and it was the random topic of the day. :shrug:

ANYWAY, those two ideas converged in my head and decided to become one. Woohoo!

First post in three weeks, BTW. :D

Although my haiku is more about a single person than a country or state, these following pieces are nevertheless pretty amazing warnings:



I conquer hearts like Alexander  conquered cities. I build empires  out of pebbles and find treasures  in dirt.   "Did you know, great Death, that  I am the queen of the world?"   "Then, naive one, you are the queen  of filth."   I ride the waves of chance like a sailor  and hold my palms out to the moon.  I believe I recognize it's face. A  friend of mine, it is.   "The night is my friend, for it  complimemts my soul."   "Then you are at one with the dark  and loneliness."   I know glory by crimson streams, but  know nothing of
