Promethean Gifts
Inca Indians cultivated potatoes
thousands of years before Christ.
Other indigenous domesticated tomatoes
and maize and they gave it to us.
Many centuries of artificial selection
by the indigenous people of the Americas
resulted in the development of corn plants
for the benefit of all mankind.
The Olmecs staple crop –
Promethean gifts given to us
in brotherly trust.
And we locked them in artificial Reservations.
