Micro

I'm in the rocks, I'm in the sea

I consume death with giddy glee

At boiling point I am content

Cosy beside a scorching vent

.

The air you breathe is my design

A waste product of my refine

I helped you colonise the land

But this was nothing that I planned

.

To seed the land with living stock

I am the alpha off this rock

The vivid greens that harvest light

I am behind these marvelled sights

.

You teamed with me for your best tricks

Without me air would make you sick

The sun would have no use for you

Without my ingenious tools

.

I'll be here long after you're gone

Just as I was at the first dawn

When life was new and rarified

Extinction is what we defied
