Ozymandius Exhumed

I came across
a traveler
from a distant
land
who had chanced
upon a statue,
which read
"Look upon my
work, and tremble."
I was a native
of that land,
and knew
just what it meant.
The statue was
in ruins, but
its impact still
I felt,
all over
the level sands,
on whose land
I dwelt.
