Ozymandias

I thought this poem was very interesting and had a good moral to it. This king, Ozymandias, seemed to have greatly oppressed his people. He thought that he would become the greatest king with all of the power if he did this. In the poem, all that is left of him are the legs and the head of a statue of him. He really left his mark, didn't he? I think this poem represents the idea that people get nothing accomplished by bossing others around and thinking that they are better than everyone else. When it comes down to it, these kinds of actions will only lead to defeat and damage to everyone. All people were created equal, so when people try to rule others, problems will always arise. It is just quite ironic that this "king of kings" has left nothing behind on this earth but rubble and remains of a statue.
