Premium Member An Insomniac

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.

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.

The Golden Flame of Faith

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
