The poem deals with the visit of a traveler to a deserted place where he finds an almost broken statue with a header note saying “I am the king of kings” . The note brings thousands of questions in poet's mind , with a thought continuously provoking his mind that all the power and fame a person craves to earn in his life span is just momentary. Everything fades with time . The same happened with this statue , The statue of a great king that would had built in the memory of his power and greatness is lying half broken in some deserted place.
In short the irony of the poem is that the ‘power is temporary'. In order to make their power immortal, people often deceive themself .
