Ozymandias Poem by Philip Whan

Ozymandias



In a land of ancient past,
packed with antiquities made to last,
there lied the granite mast,
a sign of man gone by fair and fast.

The mast was all that was left,
of great Ozymandias, now acleft,
with a warning to all near and far,
"Behold my wonders: grand and spectacular! "

A sandy breeze further dusted this forgotten land,
as nothing remained to entitle that brand.
