The magic Mushroom

Fungi, fungus, funguses thousand fold,

eukaryotic life kingdom of yeast and mold.

Ancient legends and myths from many times,

beginnings and ends through mulching slimes.

Egyptians sensed the connection in fungi to gods,

only Pharaohs allowed to have them as foods.

Consuming the fungi to become immortal static,

Mushroom stones in Mesoamerica enigmatic.

The Rig Veda describes the juice of Soma,

considered as precious liquid of stardust and earth aroma.

Indispensable in all worships and ritual,

similar to Greek deities of cognate ambrosia.

Consumed in Shamanic sessions to contact spirits of the dead,

fortifying long hunting trips an dreams thread.

Penicillin antibiotics against bacterial infection,

surviving the war with needed invention.

Psilocybin and psilocin magic shrooms,

DMT, acid blotters magic truffles booms.

Alice in wonderland and the philosopher’s stone,

introspective hallucination and psychosis throne.

Natures secret language by mildews organisms,

earths everlasting fungi dew compost prism.
