Shelly brings out the futility of power by taking the example of King Ozymandias. He was a powerful ruler who was feared by many and crazed power. He builds a statue which depicts his power. Over time the statue and all the power Ozymandias had is lost. All the power he boasted of is nomore.

Arrogance does not assure immortality and durability against all powerful time and nature. The poem highlights the vanity of human glory and power. Everything in the world perishes with the passage of time and under the powerful influence of the elements of nature.
Even the mightiest of the mighty becomes one with the dust.
No trace of them is left on the sands of time. Ozymandias, a powerful king of Egypt was proud of his glory and achievements. He desired to immortalize his name and got a statue built. But nothing could stand against time and the powerful elements of nature.
The broken statue symbolizes the destruction caused by time and the sands,lone, boundless and bare symbolize the power of the elements.
