Obamandias
I met a traveller from a once free land
Who said: A vast and fathomless ego hath
Scorched the earth. Nearby, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose contempt
And tilted chin, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read.
Few survived that parliamentary Armageddon
The rest were run out of town on a rail, or fled.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Obamandias, king of kings:
Look on my legislation, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the ruins
Of that colossal Self, burnt and bare
The lone and lifeless prairie stretches far away.
Little regarded fact: Ozymandias was (also) born in Africa.
To add, Ozymandias is what the Greeks called Ramses.
Just as the Jews called Egypt, Mizraim.
The fight is on, and the battle for the US has escalated.
*kicks sand in that fugly, pompous mug*
In addition to added taxes from Obamandias’ HCP; wait until the states try to absorb these new costs; sales taxes, state income taxes and property taxes will all rise sharply over the next few years. But we knew this….
Back in the fall of 2009 the WSJ republished the original poem by Shelley, and it is prophetic. Once I had to memorize it but was too young to really understand it. Good job, Zombie, but Obamandias’ visage should be half sunk and shattered next to some really skinny legs of stone.
That’a a brilliant parody of one of my favourite poems. More satire and ridicle is what’s needed, Obama’s supporters can’t stand it and I hear from contacts in the British media Obie has a very thin skin too.
