What Is the Greatness of Man

Man,
The self proclaimed genius,
Figuring out the best way to build a campfire,
And then announcing to the stars
That he is on equal footing with the gods.

Oh very true of arrogant man to think he is god duh! When he can't create one living thing nor even the inorganic things such as the planets etc. Like lyricman said we are just a speck and the creator Almighty. So your poem to me is both awesome and awe inspiring, in brevity too. Kudos. Pls do review my latest poem too.
