'Ozymandias' by P.B. Shelley gives message that whatever you are, you will be vanished with time. All will come to dust.
The speaker of the poem says that he met one traveler who has traveled to a place where ancient civilisations once existed. The traveler tells the speaker a story about an old statue in the middle of the desert. The statue is broken apart and only two legs were remain and face in sand. but you can still make out the face of a person. The face looks stern and powerful, like a ruler. The sculptor did a good job at expressing the ruler’s personality.
The ruler was a wicked guy, but he took care of his people. On the pedestal near the face, the traveler reads an inscription in which the ruler Ozymandias tells anyone who might happen to pass by, basically, “Look around and see how awesome I am!” But there is no other evidence of his awesomeness in the vicinity of his giant, broken statue. There is just a lot of sand, as far as the eye can see. The traveler ends his story.
