Some poem based on the behaviors of colony organisms.

Moss
By M. A. Sanderson

Father knows best.
Believe in that well.
To be without guidance
Is to be inside hell
Looking at heaven,
Watching the followers,
Those who’d been wise,
They go and march forth,
No hope in their eyes
To blind them
They’re blinded no more,
They’re all under me,
Their father.
Your father.
They’ve all given up what they wanted to be,
And now they are tools for our great colony.
You WILL join us.
It WILL be best.
So hear what I say,
Heed my request:



GROW
GROW
GROW
GROW
GROW ALL YOUR BRANCHES AS FAR AS THEY GO
TRUST IN YOUR FATHER
FORGET WHY YOU GLOW
IT’S SUCH A SHAME THAT YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW
HOW USEFUL YOU ARE
HOW USEFUL YOU’LL BE
HOW USELESS YOU WERE ‘FORE YOU SUCCUMBED TO ME
DO YOU KNOW OUR NAME
OR KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
OR KNOW HOW TO GIVE UP YOUR HOPES AND YOUR DREAMS
GIVE UP YOUR TEARS
BRING THEM TO ME
I’LL SCATTER THE DROPLETS IN ALL OF THE SEAS
GIVE UP YOUR MORALS
GIVE OF YOUR GOALS
GIVE UP YOUR FEELINGS AND ALL YOUR CONTROL
DON’T FEAR YOUR PROBLEMS
THEY DIED ON THE SHORE
DON’T BEG FOR YOUR LIFE UNTIL I GIVE YOU MORE
KNOW YOUR TRUE PURPOSE
KNOW WHY YOU’RE BORN
MARCH THROUGH THE WEATHER, THE THIRST AND THE THORNS
SHOW THEM OUR NAME
SHOW THEM OUR CAUSE
BREAK ALL WHO CROSS YOU, TO US THEY ARE PAWNS
KNOW WHY YOU STILL BREATHE
KNOW WHY YOU EXIST
KNOW WHY I MUST LEAD YOU AND ALWAYS INSIST THAT YOU

GROW
GROW
GROW
GROW
GROW TO THE STARS AND LOOK AT THEM GLOW
GROW TO YOUR LIMIT
PAST THAT YOU’LL GO
FORGET WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED AND ALL THAT YOU KNOW

GONE
GONE
GONE
GONE
GO PAST THE SKY AND REPORT WHAT’S BEYOND
TELL US WHAT’S THERE
TELL WHAT YOU SAW
REPORT OF THE CLOUDS AND REPORT IF THERE’S GODS

KILL
KILL
KILL
KILL
KILL ALL OUR RIVALS AND BE HUNGRY STILL
BRING THE BODIES TO ASH
DON’T FEAR THEIR WILL
YOU CANNOT FALL DOWN WHEN YOU’RE HIGH ON THE HILL

GROW
GROW
Grow
Grow
Grow ‘till you ache and continue to grow
You’re one of us
By now you should know
The more you believe that, the farther you’ll go.
