Osama Bin Who?

 

Osama Bin and Gone.

Every generation has had it's public enemy #1. Whether Al Capone, Lord Haw Haw, Adolf Hitler, they  come and they go.

The latest terrorist is now resting on the sea-bed in the Gulf of Arabia; gone in a moment from a 'So Great to a So what.'

In the 18th century Lord Byron wrote a poem about a public enemy #1. Ozymandias.

Psalm One, with brilliant precision, concludes with these words:

"The wicked are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.......... but the way of the righteous abideth forever"

So live your life now that your legacy will be a godly example for others to follow.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert … Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,            
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:                  
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay 

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Lord Byron
