Ozymandias - Chaaya Prabhat

Thank you, Chaaya Prabhat, for the beautiful illustrations:

(To me, this poem represents a response to the election of a dictator whose only concern is himself and his own power. It has always seemed terribly frightening and comforting, all at once. Time is a scythe.)

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command"

Chaaya Prabhat's illustrations for Shelley's poem, "Ozymandias
"I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert."

She knows damn well that Biden won. Fake scoundrels in the new cabinet, from top to bottom. She only looks presentable in comparison with Gaetz. That nom has come to seem more and more like a stalking horse for the other noms.
