Crawling

The world is crawling with mavens

Pumped up on ego and pride

A planet of pure amour propre

With chary aplomb on the side

Striving for self-satisfaction

In poignant disports of forte

Starving for wide recognition

Prestigeful panache of the day

The world is crawling with maestros

Virtuosos dressed to impress

Loaded on idolization

On rolls of befitting success

Secreting self-admiration

In modest displays of self-poise

Resting on golden ring laurels

In forests of grandiose noise
