Oh Lord bacteria,
You have provided unto me
So much
My energy
My deepest recesses
Are enriched by you

You fight daily
And your fight
Gives me strength
You are more perfect
Than I could ever be
Yet you are me
And yes I am you

You do so much
Much more than I am aware
Or will ever know
You may lack conscious thought
But maybe that would be a crippling thing
And to have it not, makes you strong
(And me weak)

Oh Lord
Thank you for your fight
As you not only fight against foe
Often your distant relatives
But you fight against me
The things I throw at you
The Big Macs
The CocaCola
The chocolate

Give me strength to worship you more
And so in respecting you
I will respect myself
May you multiply fiercely within me
As you see fit
May you protect me
And energise me until
That final day, where you may break me down
And take me to your leader

Certificate U
Nature

Interesting piece, magicdarer. Bacteria are largely overlooked, but they keep this planet running. Without them the world would be a nasty place crammed with faeces and corpses, and we wouldn't be able to digest our food properly - we are a conglomeration of organisms rather then the single entities we believe.
