It's Ozzymandias time! Just like P, B, and Jelly; it's Percy Bysshe Shelley (husband of Frankenstein, y'all). One of my all time favorite poems. I once read that there was an ancient monument to a ruler where a conniving artisan made the plaque out of a perishable clay, concealing a stone engraving of his own name. The top layer survived the ruler, and I guess also the artisan. But within a century it was weathered away leaving only the name of the master. Will that be the fate of our times as well? Must we settle for the solace that one day long after we are dust that those who pull the strings for our idiot leaders are finally exposed?
