“Ozymandias” isn’t just about the fall of a king—it’s a quiet roast of every person who thinks their legacy will last forever. The real power in the poem is that the only thing that survives is the evidence of failure, not the glory itself. It basically argues that time is the ultimate editor—and it deletes ego first.
