One in a thousand a genius
Once in a millennium a passionary
A Buda, Christ, Mohammad
Shakespeare, DaVinci, Tesla
After the world is never the same
Changing the course of history
These carbon footprints
pressed into diamonds
Lost in the dust of history
Are the beginning of myths
Prometheus that brought fire
XipeTotec creating agriculture
Deganawida bringing peace and democracy
Djehuty inventing language,
writing, mathematics, science,
and all of the arts
Just as a mutation in a flower
will give it new form or color
These divine mutations give the race
new hope for betterment
