Smiths poem on the same theme some weeks later specifies London as Ozymandias.
It means what ever you want it to mean iguess. Peple of the Early 20th century would have seen it as the fall of the Empire, others, nearer the time would have seen it as Napoleons Imperial collapse.
Clearly, though, its a foreboding and stark warning that this is Britains fate if we leave the EU...Be scared

The Europian Union could be that poem within 5 years if GB votes to leave on the 23rd, only the two stone legs in the desert will be hundreds of EU halls and thousands of EU offices, ha.

It turns out that on a dark and stormy night in Italy, Percy Shelley, his wife Mary (daughter of womens rights philosopher Mary Woolstoncroft) and their friend Lord Byron were at a loss at what to do.
So as lightening struck, thunder thundered, and wind buffeted their peasant shack. The three decided on a competition, who could write the best piece about human arrogance or hubris.
So...
Shelley wrote Ozymandias.
Mary wrote Frankenstein
Byron wrote a poem that was a total piece of shit.
