Ozymandias Three
(Original Version)
There once stood a belief here
but now it has been razed
another sect less circumspect
said it must be replaced
and the other idea had to sit
right here on this very place
they proceeded then to tear away
holy walls and leave no trace
after all one man's viewed holy
is another man's vile disgrace
so erase all existence boldly
and another god now be praised
Ozyman, oh Ozyman, thought of god forever
wholly unaware that godly time is measured
