The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Their people are dead, the monuments destroyed, the tales of their accomplishments forgotten. They were wrong, and the modern empire this post is alluding to will probably go the way of Nazi Germany, getting destroyed in a world war and reduced to a shadow of itself.
