Microbial Illuminati

In the beginning, there were microbes 
Once upon a time later 
Some collectively came together 
Becoming plants and animals 
But even after billions of years of evolution 
Most still remain as microbes free from collectives 
Even to this day, microbes are Earth’s dominate lifeform 
Why do you think that is? 
For millennia they remained invisible 
Hidden from sight 
It’s not until recently 
With the invention of the microscope 
They’ve been discovered and exposed 
To scientific scrutiny and medical bloodwork routines 
To us, the world is big, but for them, it’s 10,000 times bigger 
Giving them plenty of small places to hide 
And hold secret meetings 
About, who knows what 

Only the Microbial Illuminati knows, 
If they even exist.
