Imagining to be supreme,
Haughtiness gleam,
Selfishness teems,
Pride beams,
Self importance bursting at its seams,
I, me , myself only screams,
In all likeliness,
A tiny speck assumes mightiness,
Totality, not in the big picture,
Until ground beneath shatters, calling for a fixture.
44 words.
Thought behind the poem :-We often assume too much self importance until we are made to feel that we just a tiny speck in this vast universe.

How appropriate for the prompt. Ego is our besetting sin and we are swept aside by nature like a fly.
Thanks for joining in the challenge
