USA

 

Empty crucible

Once full of righteous fire

Now just grey ashes

 

The snake rears its head

Striking blindly at targets

That are imagined

 

Adopts power stance

Arms crossed - closed for argument

Pin head and big mouth

thanks Keith - I think you're right.
It's a NaPoWriMo prompt - the 3 haikus describe the 3 letters U S A as well as describe the country - I don't suppose anyone will realise that if they're not doing the prompts - but I'm really proud of this one as it brings the 2 elements together (even if I do say so myself) ?
Thanks once again for commenting

All Empires rise and fall as history records their fates. The USA will not remain in the ascendancy for much longer. They will follow the same route as the Romans and the British.

A blunt poem.
Thank you for this

Keith
