Predecessor of Maya and Aztec
Ancient as late Egypt
Infused with blackness
Amplifying spiritual imagination
Columbus a greed-fueled craven
Far from first to traverse the Atlantic
Olmec statues discovered
With broad noses and full lips
Masters of maize
Cultivated along four rivers
Builders of majestic cities
Pyramids conjure spiritual energy
Incisions in rubber trees
Creating the land of latex
Spirit transcending oceans
A sacred Panafrican matrix
Mysteries shrouded in silence
Conquistadores torched Mayan records
But this culture was sacrament
Unveiling African resonance
A fierce culture of faith
Both priestly and shamanic
Civilization emerging through portals
Psychedelic insights embryonic
This cultural fusion was vast
Probably direct transmission
But perhaps the quantum field
Psychic entanglement and vision
Sacred and potent black gods
Voicing the divine spark within
The legacy of Olmec sacrament
Remembering the future yet again
