Many bright lights toil at night,
keeping company with ghosts.
Days waste like lightning striking
or as unbroken green lamps.
But in cloisters of darkness,
Promethean mind rains fires --
illuming the slumbered world.
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.
A holy, amaranthine light,
Surely guides the world aright,
Lo! To distant nations yon,
The golden flame of faith,
Carries eastward on!
Promethean, the fire shines
And has shone, since olden times:-
Evangelists in days bygone,
Stole the sterling flame,
From Hyperion!
The flame the lamp-like Pharos bore,
Lit the ancient Grecian shore,
But, behold the valiant sight:-
The golden flame of faith,
Immortal, stays alight
