... Ozymandias expresses to us that possessions do not mean immortality. Percy Shelley uses lots of imagery and irony to get his point across throughout the poem. In drawing these vivid and ironic pictures in our minds, Shelley explains that no one lives forever, and neither do their possessions. Shelley expresses this poem's moral through a vivid and ironic picture: "On the pedestal of the statue, there are these words, 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'"(10-11). However, all that surrounds the statue is a desert. This poem is written to express to us that possessions don't mean immortality, the king who seemed to think that his kingdom would remain under his statue's arrogant gaze forever, ironically teaches us this through his epitaph. Though in an opposite meaning than the king intended, "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" (11) becomes good
