God Complex

We are barely a whisper in the voice of the Earth
Barely a flicker in the candle of the Sun
Not even significant in the life of the stars
And yet, we feel as though we are so important
So proud of our meager accomplishments 
On this tiny, tiny rock
Floating utterly alone in the universe
