Ozymandias

Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792 - 1822


I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

2. Should any remnants of homage to the orange hellbeast be preserved

as a monument demonstrating the folly of hubris? Might be hard to find after his downfall, seeing millions clamoring for destruction of his despised name and foul visage.

7. Yup, been thinking about that poem for many months now.

Especially those last five lines: My name is Donnymandias, king of kings...

9. The problem is you have to be half way bright to listen to Ozymandias' warning.

No way would trump or his people understand this. Which makes him and his minions the perfect examples.
