My defeat

A spark of ego within me unruly

Ignited by my imperious thoughts

Turning my mind to calefactory

Destroyed the me who I was

Genesis of an unknown peregrination

From one reticular space to another

I thought I would reach my destination

To ask someone, I did not bother

I came so far , driven by my vanity

I became a tramontane in my own land

Before I could realise I lost my sanity

I was entangled in an obscure pattern of sand

I set out to conquer the Sun's auriferous eye

Thinking I would achieve this splendid feat

But I could not even besiege the sky

Oh my pythonic ego - the reason for my defeat
