Henley’s ailing; dark experiences of pain and suffering led him to these forever impacting words. As we are tossed into life’s inevitable twists and turns‚ we each have defining moments in our lives where we must make a choice. The choices we make daily are just as defining as the ‘big’ choices.

So the couple ends up like "two on a desert island‚ back to back‚" an emotional chasm dividing them which neither is willing to bridge

The fact that the derivative of the great Ozymandias ’s name is Ruler of Air is where the irony begins. When one looks upon what was written on the base of the statue and then to what has become of that statue and all that surrounds it one sees how

    Here is an anti bullying poem written by Jon Evans: Identity–The Bully They all try to look the same
all try to give themselves a name
pick on the boy who is all alone
