Ozymandias

Now a stone from an antique land

Commanding all but sand
Passions of a sculptor a sneer

Life stamps that read in a pit of despair
Decay remains

Wrecked in shards of bare rock
Half sunk in the flowers that come with the rain

Chasing the wind
Choking on sand

Ramses wrapped in cloth
Only the name remains here and there

Sun rises beautiful over a shattered lip
Poxviruses affect statues in time

Even those that believe they are noble
Beauty reflected visage lies
